That is why I chose to use 192.x.x.x to keep it simple.
Confucious say "when in hole stop digging"...

I wonder if the OP finds it as patronising as I do that you believe he "wouldn't understand and doesn't need to know"?

If you wanted to keep it simple you wouldn't have used 'Class C' or mentioned "most other routers" at all, you would have simply said that the example devices would get an address above 192.168.0.1 from the SH. The OP shows a screengrab with a PC address of 192.168.0.100 so you didn't need to 'simplify' to 192.x.x.x - In fact you made it more complicated.

I'm amused however that you use 'most' as you usually do i.e 'in your experience' rather than the conventional meaning of 'majority', that is unless you can quote statistics for 'most routers' using 192.168.100.x'?

Still definitely OT now, and the OP has their answer - VM is not responsible for the IPv6 address shown
