It doesn't need to.  The A records returned by DNSLs are not machine
addresses; there is no reason not to use the full 32 bits available,
except human discomfort with treating A records that way.

::0 through ::FF:FF:FF:FF is ff00ff00ff0100 hex, or 71777214294589696
decimal, addresses, not anything like 16 million.  If you mean 16777216
addresses, ITYPM ::0 through ::ff:ffff.
