But it doesn't. Consumer gear NATs UDP pretty much as nice as it does TCP.

Hmm, perhaps you are right... I switched from consumer gear to more "enterprise-y" gear a few years back, so my data points may be a bit outdated.

I've been using normal consumer routers for NATed home connects since 2004 or so and I've never had an issue with outgoing UDP. It's required for basically every video game after all.
