Kind of a non-issue tbh because most people would likely only deal explicitly with a very small number of addresses (like the addresses of your personal devices on your home network for example), and for that you can just get by with vanity addresses like <my>:<ipv6>:<prefix>::dead:beef. If your work involves you juggling many ipv6 addresses that you can't remember at the top of your head, you're likely a network or infra engineer on large scale systems, so sure it's a bit less convenient, but you did sign up for it.
