I believe that is because ARIN is encouraging /56s for home-users.
Also, they should have reserved (IIRC) a /30 that they allocated your /32
out of - so you still have contiguous room to grow.
... giving you 512k /48s ... so yes, you would be just one global
routing entry.
Also^2, might I ask - did you attempt to request/justify more?
After all, /32 is the standard ISP allocation ...
I wouldn't say they should stop, I would say (if they believe /48s to the
home are the correct answer) they should speak louder @ ARIN.
