Cannot specify basic sku Public IP for an IPv6 network interface IP configuration

If I try to attach a basic sku public IPv6 address to a network interface I get this message:
Cannot specify basic sku Public IP for an IPv6 network interface IP configuration.
This means I cannot attach a public IPv6 address to my network interface as it already has a basic sku IPv4 address associated to it (which I don't want to change).
What is the reason for preventing basic sku public IPv6 addresses from being attached to network interfaces?

Hi RichWatts-6318,
Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A Platform. Thank you for reaching out & I hope you are doing well.
I understand that you are trying to attach an IPv6 Public IP of basic SKU to an Azure VM's Nic.
There are two things to notice here,
I hope this helps.
Please let us know if you have any follow-up questions on this.

Thank you for your reply but it doesn't answer my core question. Basic sku public IPv4 addresses can be assigned to VM instances, so why can't basic sku public IPv6 addresses?

Hi RichWatts-6318,
This behavior is by design (expected) .
There maybe some internal requirements that prevent the association of Basic IPV6 SKU to a VM NIC.
We recommend customers leverage standard SKU for newer deployments as it has more features.
Thanks,

Standard sku IPv4 is not free, so this limitation is designed to get customers needing IPv6 to spend more money?
Hi RichWatts-6318,
I checked this internally and this is by design.
As stated earlier, there will be internal dependencies that require this resource to be of Standard SKU

Thank you @Rich Watts .
I shall also create an internal work item as I cannot find this in our immediate roadmap.
I will keep this thread updated should there be any developments.
Thanks,
