With the start if IPv4 it was thought that this amount of address space
would be never run out. Should we do the same error again with IPv6? I am
very sure IPv10 or similar will be required in future if we waste address
space now (maybe even if we not). No one ever knows what happen in future
and the use cases are maybe still out of our possible realization. Just one
example: What if in x years there exist robots every part of them
communicate with a seperate ip address and one robot could utilize 10.000
addresses or more.

I am also a customer of different hosting/colocation Companies and most of
them provide me with millions of IPv6 addresses that I not plan to use. 1000
of them would be sufficient for me for very long and if I really need more
why just not then give additional nets away.
