No, because sensibly configured routers would still block incoming traffic regardless of NAT.

If your dishwasher has a 5G antenna + modem built-in and connects to the manufacturer’s own wireless account then your router doesn’t enter the picture. The dishwasher can happily serve you ads and conduct routine surveillance all day long and the only thing you can do is cut power to the device (until they start including a battery backup for that stuff).
