You miss the point.
If my friend Joe, down the street on the Cable Network and I are both
doing IPv6, and we both have tunnels, then our traffic, which should
travel literally 10s of meters, will travel 100s of km instead.
If we were both using 6to4, we would, as you say, automatically tunnel
between us.
The reason to still have the tunnel, is just what you said: so that we
can talk to 2001::/16 space.

Thanks for the pointers.
