> Your 50/50 example is hugely biased, first it's on a Telco discussion forum so that clearly selects for technical users, then it's on ipv6 which is going to further select for technical people.

As you can see I'm aware of that, they are also aware of that, and the discussion is not so much about themselves (since they know how to configure a firewall or even to install their own router), but about what your "average grandma" should get.

If only average grandma's were just limited to grandma's. I don't know a single person who isn't a gamer or IT person that can properly use a firewall as they exist now.

The overwhelming majority of users doesn't bother in changing any settings, as can be seen from the dramatic changes in IPv6 adoption when an ISP goes from opt-in IPv6 to forced IPv6.
