But don't "conflicts" matter only for separate sites that later decide to connect to each other using these addresses?

In that context 1 out of 1.24 million seems small. That does not mean we should not include that math, just that the conclusion is valid, especially for an address type that is designed to be near-unique as opposed to guaranteed unique.

The likelihood of conflict exceeds 0.5 after only 1.24 million draws. I'd
contend that this is definitely not "small" as described in the draft.
