Please read RFC 7421. For example

   From an early stage, implementations and deployments of IPv6 assumed
   the /64 subnet length, even though routing was based on prefixes of
   any length.
   ...
   The main practical consequence of the existing specifications is that
   deployments in which longer subnet prefixes are used cannot make use
   of SLAAC-configured addresses and require either manually configured
   addresses or DHCPv6.

Nobody is trying to un-CIDRise IPv6. But the price of not applying the
/64 subnet size is that you lose automatic addressing. The 4291bis text
doesn't yet explain this clearly enough.
