I'm not saying we need NAT, just that without prior need for NAT, perpetuated by ISPs only giving us one IP, I doubt anybody would have any ingress filtering at the border. It's a lot easier just to block ingress to the whole house than it is to ensure a dozen devices are secure against unwanted incoming connections... this problem will present itself with the IoT sooner or later.

Defaults are a powerful thing. If one's router ships with a default REJECT ingress firewall, a non-technical user is not likely to change it.
