These here is a nice fallacy it is called Argumentum ad Populum and doesn't stands. Why? Because these is about having an usable system. If you disable ipv6 on the profiles users on ipv6 only systems can't then use the stages since they need to fetch system to rebuild the packages and for that they need ipv6. So, since from a functionality point of view enabling it won't leave on an unusable system after unpacking the stage to users of either ipv4 or dual stack systems the USE will be on.
We are not shoving anything through people's throats anyway you can always disable it and you probably will since you must be a really bad hardened system administrator if you don't recheck the default USE flags before proceeding with the installation.
