In my books if I get allocated say /48 or /40 from RIR what I do with the remaining bits is my own business.
on your own network, indeed you can. It would interoperate with nothing, and no-one else would mind. But we're not talking about your basement: we're talking about a candidate for ietf working group adoption for a standards track document, and the discussion is about whether long-standing ipv6 semantics right at the bottom of the protocol stack should be broken in order to provide a minor convenience for srv6.
Extraordinary asks require extraordinary justification, and certainly on 6man there doesn't seem to have been any justification provided by spring or the authors about why this change is necessary to the ipv6 protocol stack. tbh at this point, the draft seems to be a bit of a head scratcher.
