It's hard enough to sell ipv6 for LAN without adding having to get a tunnel, register with a RIR, whatever else.

ULA gives us the option to spin up ipv6 networks without anyone else being involved. We have to be able to make private networks without contacting anyone, and we will go back to ipv4 if that's our only option.
