This is btw standard setup in the DOCSIS world. All CPEs get a single IP
out of a shared /64. In case the CPE is not a customer PC but a router
(most customers have that), of course DHCPv6-PD is used to issue
prefixes. Nevertheless, there is a non-insignificant amount of people
directly attaching their PCs directly to cable modems.

The assumption "everyone inside a /64 is the same subject" is flawed,
indeed.
