So this 'feature' is just a fix for the issue with tracking that would not be there with ipv4 beside that my internal ip's are changing every day to bring more confusion into my internal net. nice!

You are being tracked on IPv4 via the gateway address. It's no different. Changing your local IPv4 address does absolutely nothing, while changing the local IPv6 address does almost nothing. Hooray.
Oh but it is different. It for example doesn't leak how many unique devices there are on your network. This might be very useful in a world that is moving towards authoritarian tech dystopia at mind-boggling speeds.
Yes, yes, we have privacy extensions, but you can still group those through higher-level fingerprinting. You don't get mixed traffic.

You can set it up so your devices can have two IPv6 addresses. The shifting address for external traffic, and a static one for local traffic. I think this is the default in many linux distros now.
