I am not answerable for something somebody else did.

And yes, IPv4 selects multicast interfaces by IPv4 address. That was a poor design choice in hindsight and IPv6 was instead designed to select multicast interfaces by local link ID.

You've made it clear up-thread that you know all of this, as well as you know how to specify link IDs (with % or an additional parameter). So why are you arguing now?
