/64 is not enough if you need to run two networks (e.g., a guest WiFi in addition to the main one). And yet, here in the Philippines, an IPv6 subnet larger than /64 is an enterprise-only feature that is denied to home users.

This is a similar complaint to "I can't run a server from home because my ISP wont give me a static IP".

Sure, it's a problem, but not one with the protocol.

You can subnet /64. You'll just lose SLAAC. (+ some idiocy around some devices that refuse to implement both DHCPv6 and manual setting of IPv6 addresses)
RIPE-738 (European RIR's address allocation and assignment policy) says that home users should get at least /56.
