Right, but it's easy to get in the mindset that because devices are on the "inside" network they are safer. This is the risk that NAT brings: RFC 1918 = safe(r).
If every device has a 200::/3 address, then even if there's a SPI firewall which prevents external connections, it may help to reduce this inside/outside thinking.
