Telcos only supplying /64 despite 3GPP supporting shorter than /64.  Every Telco that only supplies /64 has raced to the bottom.  There was reasons for this initially.  Some devices did not work correctly with short than /64 because their developers fail to properly test them before releasing them.  Its now a decade later and many of those Telcos are still doing /64.

DHCP-PD supports STATIC leases.  Whether you get a static of dynamic lease depends on the functionality the DHCP server vendor built in and how the server is configured.
