I'd asked a similar question as the OP two weeks ago in the thread about 
mixing v4 and v6 in the same BGP peer groups, after several responses 
extolling the virtues of avoiding any conflation between the two.  If 
that's the case for routing, but forwarding v6 in an entirely v4-dependent 
manner on a 100% dual stack network is tolerable, then this inconsistency 
is... inconsistent.

By all outward appearances, v6 is still a second class citizen when it 
comes to TE, and it doesn't seem unreasonable to ask why this is the way 
it is in 2018.  There are plenty of valid reasons for wanting parity.

The world is covered with well-trodden paths that have fallen into disuse 
with the arrival of newer, better, more convenient infrastructure.
