My consumer router uses iptables under the hood, so it accepts a mask in the firewall rule (so e.g. I can do ::0123:4567:89ab:cdef/::ff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff as a target, and when my /56 changes, the rules Just Work™)

It seems iptables has been ahead there.

But I think it further strengthens my case, software support for IPv6 has been quite spotty over the years, which combined with the less-than ideal deployments out there has made things frustrating for many users over the past couple of decades.
