Yeah but the average person wouldn't know to set up a firewall (and can't count on their ISP to have their best interests at heart.) Therefore the general public benefits from the degree of protection that NAT provides.

Almost 50% of internet traffic is IPv6. Obviously, those average people have a suitable firewall provided by default on their routers.
