When it is running in a modern, I.e. IPV6 network?

None of you have given any reason a private address space needs 6

Because there’s no such thing as private address spaces in IPv6.

If your ISP is IPv6 only, then you need to enable IPv6 for your local network too, which means that every device on your network gets an IPv6 address.

You can still have a private IPv4 as well, but if your remove the IPv6 support, then you lose access too the Internet.

When you want the private network to connect to a public IPv6 network. Most people connect their LANs to the public Internet
