Because the CPE is a site boundary.

RFC 7084. Basic Requirements for IPv6 Customer Edge Routers

3.2.1
                            The IPv6 CE router defaults to acting as the
   demarcation point between two networks by providing a ULA boundary, a
   multicast zone boundary, and ingress and egress traffic filters.

Which is referenced in the CableLabs documents.
