There's no need to look at history here. We can just observe that all
cellular networks assign two or more /64s to every device by default, all
the time. That is the industry standard and was strongly argued for by the
IETF when mobile operators originally designed the standards to assign only
a single /128 per device.

Why RIPE would have a policy that allows cellular networks to provide
multiple /64s per device but doesn't allow, say, enterprise networks to do
the same seems somewhat arbitrary and unfair. After all, both of these are
IETF-standard deployment models.
