(f-root has its own /48, which is something else.)
So you're claiming that any IPv6 PI applicant without your political connections to the IESG, ARIN, IANA, etc. can get a /32? I don't know exactly how many subnets/hosts ISC has, but I seriously doubt ISC could even get a PI /48 if you weren't buddies with the folks making allocation decisions.
Most companies do not have the advantages you apparently take for granted; the IETF thus far has been adamant that only ISPs will get PI space, no matter how big an end-user site may be, exceptions for the IETF/IANA leadership's employers notwithstanding.
