I’ve never even heard of the DHCP option for this. How widely adopted is it? It’s surprising to hear it called “the right way” when it wouldn’t work for a single-stack IPv6 (or IPv6-mostly, probably) network.
DHCP works over IPv6, but there's also a corresponding RA option, too, if your v6-only network doesn't use DHCP. https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc8910/ is, I think, the latest version of the standard.
Ah great, thanks for the link! A very clearly-written RFC.

I think all of those are examples of "[doing] things against agreed-upon standards [with] a compelling reason and [with] due consideration to the adverse consequences".
And the compelling reason is always profit.
"The entire concept of NAT" was for profit? "Linux routers responding ICMP from 192.0.0.8 when not having an IP address" was for profit? What?
The grocery store down the road only sells me things for profit but I hope you're not trying to imply that's somehow nefarious.
