Honestly, it's not that complicated to set up a L2TP or VPN tunnel to a server with routable inbound IP traffic.

Most people who would know how to set up port forwarding could probably set it up. I think even some routers support it built in now.

That is additional latency, especially if you can't find a VPS near your ISP.

Fair point but starlink ground stations are all near major PoPs where you won't struggle to find one.
