I would expect most domestic broadband to come with non-static IPv6, yes. For no other reason than that a static v6 assignment is useful to a minority, and therefore worth charging extra for. That's not what was intended by the designers of IPv6, but it is the commercial reality. > An IPv6 dynamic /48 allocation appears to me to make no sense, but > introduces direct access restrictions affecting security > monitoring, CA certification, etc. Why is it any different than a dynamic IPv4 address for all of these things? If you don't like the v6 addresses on your LAN changing you can use a network from ULA space¹ with a default gateway out to the v6 Internet for any other destination.
