Because the netSnmpHostTable is only implemented to report
IPv4 addresses, taken from /etc/hosts.  It is not intended
as a means of monitoring the local interface information.
It is primarily an example of the MfD framework - note
the name of the MIB that it's defined in!

You probably need to be looking at the IPV6-MIB::ipv6IfTable
instead,
