While the size of the global table is a concern, using it as an argument
for reducing access to global IPv6 addresses feels wrong to me.

For the sake of the routing table, it would be best if only a handful
of companies are in the Internet, the best would be very centralised
Internet at a single location.

supposed to work - in a robust and decentralised fashion.

Keeping the global routing table manageable is a valid concern, but I
don't think it's a good argument for preventing organisations to get
their own /48 and connect to the Internet.

Aside from that, it is probably not realistic that billions of users are
opting in for getting a) their unique address space and b) getting and
connected to the global Internet.

Best regards,

Nico
