It's still basically another mac address or unique identifier for the system, regardless of which local network it happens to be on. Great for being tracked by FAANG, I guess, but I'd rather for my devices use a generic local IP and a randomized mac. There's no reason why the refrigerator needs to be uniquely identifiable on the Internet.

No, v6 addresses are assigned by (or chosen based on) the current network, not permanently associated with a given system. They aren't MAC addresses or unique identifiers.
