Parent poster is making the (good and underrated) point that NAT makes this logic failsafe: Turn an IPv6 firewall off and you’ve got all incoming connections allowed. Turn IPv4 NAT off and you’ve got no connectivity at all
Or make the "turned off" state block all traffic, just like closing a water valve, or a road gate. I never understood why network firewalls did not default to this.
