There are various vendor knobs/features to ameliorate ARP-level issues in switching gear.  Those same knobs aren't viable in IPv6 due to the way ND/NS work, and as you mention, the ND stuff is layer-3-routable.

Most software today is very much like an Egyptian pyramid, with millions
of bricks piled on top of each other, with no structural integrity, but
just done by brute force and thousands of slaves.
