I’m fairly sure it must take extra work to make dynamic prefixes. I’ve heard some weird justifications about localised routing. But modern ISPs generally don’t work that way at all. For example, my ISP has endpoints in multiple cities, and can fail over to another city if need be. All my static IPv4 and IPv6 instantly move with me in that event.
I’ve seen a few isps here in the UK doing some weird pointless stuff with ipv6. Like dynamic prefixes. Why? What’s the point?
But you can get good ones. I’ve had the same /48 prefix for 10 years now.
I am 50/50 between incompetence. Or so they can keep on charging extra for a static ip.

Oh my God disgusting. My ISP uses dynamic prefixes also, which reflects a lack of understanding of the most basic IPv6 fundamentals.
