For some time now, it's not unusual for systems to have multiple, publicly-routable IPv6 IPs. Right now my macOS system has four randomly-generated IPv6 IPs, which are being used for internet traffic. New IPs are generated regularly, and old ones eventually get removed.

And thanks to Duplicate Address Detection, before a new randomly-generated IP is used, a check is made to ensure it is not in use by someone else.
