Please think about the arguments in RFC 7934. If some misguided operator assigns your device exactly one IPv6 address, that hugely constrains what the device can do and how well it does it. And I do think that users notice when their network is flaky.
 

A bunch of networks do silly things... they aren't going to stop doing those silly things just because the IETF says something, are they?
