That's because of people's lazy and stupid habit of derriving policy from prefix length (exceeding the valid conclusions from the IPv6 architecture documents).

Unfortunately still many people think (or just copied some random filter recommendation) that filtering ANY /48 is a good thing, and don't update filters.
