I think it makes it easier.  Because it doesn't make a distinction
based on "need" but rather on subsequent assignments

1. End user gets a /48 initial allocation
2. An organization planning to assign /48's to end users get a /32
   initial allocation

I didn't use the word ISP anywhere or suggest what the organization
does.
