Can you offer one valid reason not to give residential users /48s? Any benefit whatsoever?


Sure. To avoid having to go back and deal with ARIN yet again for more IPv6 space.

One of the hopeful outcomes of IPv6 adoption was that an ISP could get enough to last "forever" in a single transaction. But "forever" isn't very long at one /48 (or more) per customer.
