What he said.

I think this comparison to IPv4 is non-sense.

I think IPv6 should benefit from IPv4 experience of no-fixed-length
Interface ID and DHCP.

I think you should try the experience of trying to persuade ISPs to
involve DHCPv6 PD before you can claim networks can grow in the presence
of this /64 limit. Or otherwise tell when the smartphones 'tether' by
using a Standards Track protocol.

Until then there is no reason to have a /64 recommendation.
