Space was handed out more or less willy-nilly - so some US organisations ended up with multiple A-classes each, while later on all of Vietnam got one /26.
IIRC (I was running APNIC at the time), when the first organization from Vietnam approached APNIC for address space, we allocated a /22 to them and reserved the /16 from which that allocation was made for other ISPs in Vietnam (as was the policy back then).
That's the big difference - IPv6 has been designed to provide abundant address space.
There is no amount of fixed address space that can't be consumed with stupid allocation policies. Regards, -drc
