(for networks with no router and networks with one router)

Giving a /52 to networks that don't have a router has the potential  
to burn v6 space rather quickly. (Today those networks would get a /64.)

And why would a SOHO (small office, home office) or residential  
network with just a single router need 4096 subnets (/52) rather than  
256 (/56) or 16 (/60)?

If they really need that many subnets it's probably better to stick  
at the current /48 recommendation.
