I can think of couple of reasons for it

- they get money for selling static/public IPv4 addresses right now and they wouldn't want this money going away when IPv6 arrives

- can't imagine how the world will look like with shitty insecure routers everywhere and everyone having a public IPv6 address, ISPs might provide NAT connections to protect non-tech people

If I'm not mistaken, one of the largest ISPs in my country has begun to roll out IPv6 but it was either broken the last time I checked or it had some form of NAT on it.
