site-local addresses are deprecated since RFC 3879. Link-local addresses are indeed another standard, but have the very same length problem. You have these horribly long ipv6 addresses... those can't reasonably be parsed by humans... There is no 192.168.* equivalent in ipv6. Why don't we have something like fd00::1 being the router and fd00::2, fd00::3, etc being the devices in the local network, assigned by DHCP. You can absolutely configure your router that way but it is violating a MUST requirement of RFC 4193. That's my point. There is no non-routed netblock where you can just use it for local purposes, outside of the one for SLAAC and the one for ULA, both creating these horribly long monsters of addresses. All the others have purposes attached that are not meant to be used for local networks.
