In all seriousness, I have been trying to understand IPv6 for a long time, and the documentation that I read (again, admittedly not often RFCs, but certainly Wikipedia, linux distro docs, etc) never mentioned DHCP PD, or at least never mentioned it as something important for how end-users would use IPv6.
Sorry, but I have some problems understanding this. AFAICT, you can't read anything about configuring IPv6 access without seeing DHCPv6-PD mentioned. You referred to how OpenWrt "does it out of the box" for example. So just for fun, I tried to follow the most natural route from https://openwrt.org to their IPv6 documentation for end users, which is 3 clicks from the front page to https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/network/ipv6/start where the first bullet point you see under "Native IPv6 connection" is * Automatic bootstrap from SLAAC, stateless DHCPv6, stateful DHCPv6, DHCPv6-PD and any combination Bjørn
