Its becoming that way on modern Linux systems, for "the rest of us" who dont have (or don't want to use) IPv6 networks at the moment. I suspect that a lot of the folks who work on the network code do have IPv6 routing (or are using tunnel brokers) and don't appreciate what troubles that enabling all the IPv6 services causes on IPv4-only networks. Bloody geek developers. The Ubuntu folks should know better though.
