Why are there many IPv6 routes in the provided Ubuntu NetPlan?

In the SYS and KS dedicated servers, if we install Ubuntu from the OVH provided image and take a look at the NetPlan config file /etc/netplan/50-cloud-init.yaml as well as the default routes for IPv4 and IPv6, there are a large number of additional IPv6 routes configured.

Can someone tell me what all these additional IPv6 routes are for? They seem to vary slightly from server to server. I am wondering of they are really needed? Ideally I would like to remove the non-default routes if they are not needed so that I can simplify our automated installation scripts.

For example:

network:
version: 2
ethernets:
eno1:
accept-ra: false
addresses:
- 2001:41d0:2:9434::1/56
dhcp4: true
match:
macaddress: 0c:c4:7a:a8:95:e0
nameservers:
addresses:
- 2001:41d0:3:163::1
routes:
- to: default
