Presumably, there is some evidence supporting the claim made in the proposal
and the authors are speaking at their request. Maybe the authors can speak
up and explain the situation?

If IPv6 turns out to be damp squib then it makes no difference how much IPv6

deployment problems are solved then the networks with the space will need to
use it rather than hoard it.

Yes, if the authors can't demonstrate the need they claim exists.
