It has less eyes on it due to it being less popular. It also introduces an extra vector of attack.

It does not have less eyes on and it's 50% of Google traffic.

If an IT department carefully curates IPv4 but ignores IPv6, then a rogue actor can set up a parallel IPv6 network largely without being noticed.

IPv6 can be managed, just that it is a blindside for a lot of these departments.
