Find me a consumer IPv4 router sold in the last ~10 years that does that by default.
Security comparisons should be between proposed new tech vs. existing tech, not vs. hypothetical straw-man tech.

Find me a consumer IPv6 router sold in the last ~10 years without a restrictive firewall enabled by default. I have never seen one.
Mine lol. My ISP sent a Nokia Beacon 3.1. When I first logged into its web GUI, it had a "Security" tab with these dropdowns.
Security level
High: Traffic denied inbound and minimally permit common service outbound.
Low: All outbound traffic and pinhole-defined inbound traffic is allowed.
Off: All inbound and outbound traffic is allowed.
It was actually set to "Off" interestingly enough.
Consumer IPv4 router has both firewall and NAT enabled by default, and such packet is blocked by its firewall functionality.
