As per my understanding, it’s like APNIC used to allocate big IPV6 block to NIR (for further allocation to its members) which has now been changed to direct delegations to members instead of NIR.

i will not speak to apnic's political actions, but

A big block to NIR can help in super netting the v6 announcement at NIR (or at country level) , which can help in reducing the routing table size in long terms AND can also have IPv6 allocations in consecutive order for the economies where we have NIRs.

this is severely broken. proxy aggregation is routing falsehood and goes against the use of bgp's abilities to route efficiently in the AS graph.
