Tell HN: IPv6-only still pretty much unusable
This is v6; nobody counts individual IPs, because the answer is always "enough".
A /60 is only 16 /64s (i.e. 16 subnets), and that's
not
always enough.

Yeah, it's not always, but for most home networks it probably is. Ideally they'd give you a /56 or even a /48, but giving those on request and a /60 by default is fine.

Wait, can you not subnet IPv6 smaller than /64?

Not if you want SLAAC to work, no.
