The policies available in all the 5 RIR regions, allow you to request not
the "default" /32, but whatever is appropriate for the size of your network
even if you provide to your end-users /48.
Not an issue.

There are 65,536 /48s in a /32. It's not about how available 2000::/3
is, it's hassle to keep requesting additional PA space. Some ISPs
literally have millions of customers.
All I'm saying is, why waste the space when they're only going to need
1 subnet? If they want more than one subnet, give them a /48,/56,/60
or whatever, as requested.
