Debian 11 VMs that I was setting up last week were getting non-privacy SLAAC addresses. So I am skeptical of how common it is to default to privacy addresses.

Incoming connections can still use the address generated by SLAAC.
Yeah. I've run several major Linux distros, Windows 10 and 7, and several major versions of OSX. All had "privacy addresses" on by default, which is annoying as shit.
