Different paths. If you’ve got a “dual stack” on your computer, give it a try.
tracert -4 google.com
tracert -6 google.com
I do get very different hops and latency.
However for “happy eyeballs” algo to fallback to IPv4, latency needs to be very bad on IPv6.
For many years and even how there are networks that advertise they can do ipv6 and hand out real addresses but nothing works.
