If your edge router supports IPv6, it almost certainly can make a DHCPv6-PD request and handle advertising the assigned prefix on its LAN side.

Because of Google's continued (deliberate?) misunderstanding of what DHCPv6 is for, Android clients don't do anything sane with it. That doesn't mean that DHCPv6 isn't simple.

Again, DHCPv6 is "Please give me an IP address, and maybe also what my directly-attached friends need to get IP addresses.". Simple, straightforward, and easy to understand. Even if it were relevant, Google's chronic rectocranial insertion doesn't change that.

If a protocol can be misunderstood (especially deliberately), it means that it isn't simple.
