Agree.

I don't even think that there is a need for a word; the capacity of a
host to have multiple addresses has been built into IPv6 for a long
time. In my experience, "multi-addressing" is generally used for a form
of multihoming where a host that has multiple global PA addresses form
multiple providers to connect to the global Internet via multiple paths.

IMHO, a host that has a global address and a local address is neither
multihomed nor multi-addressed. It's just a regular IPv6 host.
