Maybe I just want a /48 or something, to do whatever with.

If, as ARIN claims, ipv6 scarcity is not an issue then it's very frustrating to deny me the ability to get my own chunk of space for my own purposes.

It shouldn't matter what I plan to do with it.

I hear what you're saying but if you aren't going to publicly route those IPs, ARIN has allocated fd00::/8 for that use. If you are going to publicly route your IPs, ARIN has no problem allocating you the space.
