I agree it is out of scope for this document.

It is in scope for RFC6724, "Default Address Selection for Internet
Protocol Version 6 (IPv6)", and that is exactly what it says ;-)

" 5.  Changed the default recommendation for Source Address Selection
       Rule 7 to prefer temporary addresses rather than public
       addresses, while providing an administrative override (in
       addition to the application-specific override that was already
       specified).  This change was made because of the increasing
       importance of privacy considerations, as well as the fact that
       widely deployed implementations have preferred temporary
       addresses for many years without major application issues."
