Who said anything about servers? This mostly affects consumer devices. If this was a windows installation, I'm not sure the same "skill issue" argument would be popping up. A normal person just installs their OS and uses it. They don't know the intricacies of CUPS, the implications of using 0.0.0.0 or how to set up a firewall in a way that would prevent this from happening. Hell, even tons of people on HN make the mistake of just checking their TCP ports when discussing this issue (when it's UDP), or don't check for the right cups package. So imagine everyone else?
