Apparently [1] it's not that simple, and apparently [2] stuff came after that standard in as late as 2014 (and I can't really say I've been keeping up with IPv6 news enough in the past 3 years to know how things look different right now compared to 2014). I also see a related Defcon article from 2015 [3] which claims "IPv6 is bad for your privacy" though I haven't read it yet.
