I don't remember that this argument was brought forward. It's entirely
your choice what kind of addresses you use. If you have a suitable
block, you can of course tkat that. But if you don't, the proposal
provides a possible solution.

RIPE does not discuss or recommend the different options. They just
provide non-routable globally unique IPv6 assignments for IXPs which
want them.
