Only if those were on by default.
Back in the days when my ISP didn’t do NAT , their dsl modem didn’t block anything.
Most people do not have the capability to secure their internet connection.
I still think the op has a good point in that NAT has protected many home networks , if nothing else from ISP incompetence , even if in theory a firewall could have done it better.

Are you saying routers in 2023 do not? Can you list any examples of currently shipping CPEs that do not?
