It reenables all of the devices on the internet to be able to directly connect to each other. No NAT, no STUN etc.

Do we even want that anymore and is it still a smart idea?

We actually do want that especially for the internet of things, so that your lights and garage door keep functioning during an AWS outage that takes out the relay servers (used to work around NAT) or if the manufacturer goes out of business.
