I think it’s even crazier that a visible slice of the address space that is supposed to last for the rest of humanity’s future has already been allocated.

It's 1/8 of that space and it's being allocated in big blocks that are expected not to run out unless humanity expands to the whole solar system. If it does run out, there are 7 tries left. More if you only use half as much space next time.
