I suspect that this may not be an apples to apples comparison.

Perhaps lack of IPv6 is more prevalent in rural areas with poorer
connectivity to the rest of the Internet? Perhaps both these CDNs
serve content for different types of devices over the different AFIs
(maybe old mediaboxes with a slow cpu prefer IPv4?). Perhaps networks
that deploy IPv6 are more likely to allow and accommodate on-net
caches?

I theorize that the described speed difference between IPv4 and IPv6
is an artifact of how the data is analysed rather than an
architectural speed difference between the protocols themselves.

Kind regards,
