Indeed. In home networks, small office networks, many campus networks,
and in 3GPP deployment, DHCPv6 isn't a requirement. But in large corporate
networks, and many other campus networks, it is. Android BYOD devices won't
do too well in those. End users might not notice, because they will get 3GPP
service.

I think (unlike Randy?) that having the choice between SLAAC and DHCPv6 is
a fine thing. But hampering DHCPv6 by not having a next-hop router option
is a self-inflicted wound. (And the discussion belongs here, because it
transcends WGs.)
