> One of the ideas of ipv6 was to reduce routing tables

That idea was abandoned about 20 years ago. One fairly quickly discovered that hierarchical routing does not work well in the real Internet, where redundancy is done on the IP level with everybody and their dog having provider-indepent IP space.

> like that the only standard for local ipv6 addresses

Which one is the only standard? Link-local, site-local, ULA, or using a non-routed netblock with or without DHCPv6 (or RA)?
