GNU/Linux has total IPv6 capabilities but this is also fully
configurable.

Since I operate a standalone workstation that is only connected
to the Internet via Comcast, my system and software configuration
only includes IPv4.  (My local network certainly does not require
it.)

IOW, I don't need IPv6 and therefore I exclude it.

Does anybody use or need IPv6?

I suppose that since the vast majority of GNU/Linux users depend
on a distro and that since most distros automatically enable
IPv6 the answer is that most users have IPv6 enabled whether they
need it or not.
