doesn't more address space just give us more routes to handle?

No. It only makes more possible prefixes. Migrating to IPv6 while keeping 
the current (IPv4) routing and current business relations, there would be 
somewhat less routes:

bigger address space -> bigger chunks -> less need to incrementally add 
prefixes to the same place -> less prefixes

You mean "more address space" -> "individual businesses want to multihome
and are willing to pay for their own space" -> more prefixes.
