> If each of my devices gets an Internet routable IPv6 address, at that point, that security-as-a-side-effect is not guaranteed unless my router has a default-deny firewall. I would hope that any routers would ship with that.

They usually do, and they also ship with the most wonderful technology ever specified within a 67 MB compressed archive [0]: UPnP! Now your attacker's job is to convince you to initiate an outgoing connection, which automatically forwards an incoming port to your device behind the NAT and bypassing the router's default-deny firewall! Nothing has ever gone wrong with a zero-configuration port-forwarding protocol from the 1990s rammed through the ISO!
