Why not? Where's the harm? As pointed out at
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-v6ops-unique-ipv6-prefix-per-host-13#page-5
it's permissible under RFC 4861. This is not an innovation.

It can also be enforced on a switched LAN if the switch does the requisite
peeking. We may not be happy at such layer violations, but it seems
to me that the days of true broadcast LANs are numbered and a lot of
these things will need to be rethought in the coming years.

Just a reminder, this draft was approved by the IESG a while ago
and is in state "RFC Ed Queue : AUTH48 for 23 days". This unique
unicast has been in there for a long time, although the phrasing
was clarified in the last couple of months, which is what WG
and IETF Last Calls are for.
