Excuse my ignorance, but isn't this whole discussion of "/128" based on
the assumption that this notation means a block of 2^128 addresses? And
isn't 2^128 the size of the entire IPv6 address space? There would be
nothing left over after designating a block of that size.
Doesn't "/128" mean a block of 2^7 addresses, i.e. just 128?

No even similar. The address space for 128bit is in the general neighborhood of
the number of atoms in the universe.
Sorry, that's 256 bits. 128 bits is the number of stars in
100,000,000,000,000,000 universes.
All I'm saying is that "we" might merely not yet have thought of how end
users might be able to make use of a plethora of IP addresses.
That’s not relevant at all to Linode assigning a /128 IP to a machine.
