What purpose do extended vlans serve?

I'm not clear why 1006-4094 exist nor what makes them more special than vlans 1-1001? The only explanation I found online is "They are mainly used in service provider networks to allow the provisioning of number of customers."

That doesn't make sense to me because any service provider worth their salt has more than 4k customers, and managing 4k vlans seems unruly.
