Dynamic v6 is likely a business and billing issue rather than a technical one. They want to sell you the static IP like they do with v4.

You're correct, but the issue is that static IPv6 isn’t even available as an option—at least in my experience with two ISPs in my country. It may be different in other places.

It's also a privacy issue, in fact it's mandatory in some European countries because otherwise you'd be easily tracked by your address, but it's also mandated you can get a static one if you ask.
