Talking about IPv6, we aren't carving a limit in granite. 99.99999% of home networks currently have no need for multiple networks, and thus, don't ask for anything more; they get a single /64 prefix.
Personal-area networks already exist. Phone/watch/laptop etc. Virtual machines are common, e.g. for running multiple different operating systems on your computer. And automotive networks need connectivity. There are often separate VLANs for VOIP and IP TV and smart meters. Separate wifi networks tuned for low-latency synchronized audio. So it's very common to have multiple networks in a home with multiple layers of routing.
