No, instead of that, every ISP gets a completely new prefix, wastes a lot of
bits in that prefix (you need 32 bits for the IPv4 address),
and then adds it to the routing table. And you can't even give customers
the /48 they are supposed to get.

You are saying that if an ISP gets a /32 from a RIR it is no problem, but a
2002::xxyy/32 suddenly is a problem?
