Hmmm... that isn't my experience:

/128: single application

/64: single computer

/56: entire building

/48: entire (digital) neighborhood

A /64 is the smallest network on which you can run SLAAC, so almost all VLANs should use this. /56 and /48 for end users is what RIRs are recommending, in reality the prefixes are longer, because ISPs and hosting providers wants you to pay like IPv6 space is some scarse resource.

Everyone at my isp is issued a /56 (and as far as I can tell, the entire country is this way).
