When you design protocols with 128 bit address fields, and then you proceed to place non-routable, random numbers, in the right-most 64 bits of each field, that results in 16 bytes of the 40 byte header being wasted. Those wasted bytes help to slow networks down and increase the need for bandwidth. Such protocols will not likely be desired by people who pay for bandwidth and people who like performance computing. While such designs might be interesting academic exercises, and might be useful in landing large government grants based on some artificial need for more bandwidth, they are not considered engineering progress for the commercial sector which builds networks that real people use in everyday life, especially in the United States of America.
