And during those 11 years. Nobody implemented this rule specific to ::/3.

I can implement it today in some of our code if you like :-). But it seems unlikely to make a difference, since the rule only applies to unicast addresses in ::/3, and no such addresses have been released to the RIRs. That in turn is unlikely to change until we run out of 2000::/3, and even then we'll likely move on to allocating addresses out of 4000::/3 instead of from ::/3.
