A /62 takes care of that unusual case, no real need for a /56 for the average residential user; that's just excessive.
There are about 11 million /56s per person on the planet, we're not about to run out. As there's nothing to conserve why follow the conservative strategy implied by shifting to longer netmasks? Why not stick with a regular scheme of escalating /64 -> /56 rather than an irregular one of /64 -> /62 -> /56?
