Autoconf assumes that subnets are /64, since an EUI takes up the rest.

Anybody who wants to use a /65 or /80 or whatever will need to do it
all manually.  They obviously have far too much time on their hands or
far too little perspective.

There are enough /48 around for everybody to get one.

Politics, of course, can always get in the way of what's sensible.
