The 'residential gateway' for my attached fiber connection doesn't allow incoming syns for the ipv6 addresses it hands out and I couldn't even find a way to tell it to let me actually use the internet as intended, other than bypassing it (which works fine).

Most endpoints these days don't have much if anything listening by default though. The reality is that even trusted local networks are hostile networks, and vendors have responded to that.
