It's not as we are carving out v4 /8's (1/256 of space) for early adopters. Or even /16's. More like the equivalent space of a host address. That's hardly too much. In fact, it's way too little for those ISPs which have home customers like DSL, and it's going to be a a pain because they either

We may not. However, without ULA, I question whether people will bother adopting IPv6 at all. If that's what the community desires, then so be it. However, I expect market forces will drive the requirement for ULA. If it's missing, I expect a repeat of another happening with IPv4, that being
