We may argue that Windows Firewall (and macOS) by default already do that. On Linux, I usually set nftables like such on all my machines, but it's trivial for "user friendly" distros to ship sane defaults for nftables.
What scares me a lot is that lots of folks out there still rely on iptables, and do not realize that they need ip6tables to set IPv6 tables - I dread of the moment some random ISP will push IPv6 routes, SLAAC picks up an IPv6 on a random Linux box and that box gets instantly pwned because it has no ip6tables rule whatsoever blocking inbound traffic.
