Uh, no. It is so because on average IPv4 is so fragmented that most
providers of any size are advertising 8+ prefixes compared to a more
realistic IPv6 average of 1-3.

Mergers of entities having an IP address range is a primary reason
of entities having multiple address ranges. As IPv6 was
developed a lot later than IPv4, it has not suffered from
mergers so much yet.
