If there really is a "one size fits all" policy,
where can I get my personal IPv6 /32 allocation ?
Conversely, if /48 is sufficient for any plausible enterprise,
is ARIN being appropriately conservative about addresses here?
Are you saying that from where you sit those organizations don't meet
the requirements for an initial allocation as an LIR?
This is the key point. And as David well knew when he posted his note,
LIRs are not end sites and are treated _very_ differently. A /32 is
the default minimum size an LIR gets. For those not familiar with the
terminology, an LIR is what we usually think of as a ISP or provider,
where the organization provides internet connectivity for a number of
other organizations.
As a data point, ARIN (in the last year) adopted a IPv6 PI for end sites
doing multihoming policy. Such end sites get a /48.
