The prefix is your globally unique identifier. "Privacy addresses" provide zero privacy.

Just like IPv4, then. Ultimately some part of the address has to identify the physical router.

No, not just like IPv4. My IP address is 192.168.0.23 right now, as are millions of others. Add in CG-NAT from my ISP and I do not have a globally unique identifier.
