I'm not a "large" customer, but I'm a lazy one. With a /48 I can encode the VLAN tag directly in the address and never worry about lookup spreadsheets again.

(my cloud providers hand over traffic at L2 at both ends of the VLAN numbering range, and VLAN translation implementations are buggy at best)
