64+16 = 80, I can't count.

Point is that if only 64 bits are being routed on the public internet and
the rest are reserved for 'LAN' use, the uses people find for the lower
order bits of the address space may be very different from those the IPv6
designers anticipated.

Ports and local address space are fungible to a degree, if I run out of
ports I can ask for more local addresses.
