Is there any residential router that exposes internal endpoints be default? I've yet to come across one that does not have a deny-any policy on it's WAN interface and has incoming destination NATs setup up.

What use is reducing the attack surface of a device which only ever initiates connections?

Edit: also there are network operators that block customer traffic on certain ports liike NetBIOS, SMB or SMTP to name a few.
