Circumventing a system firewall is not an opinionated default. By default, the firewall isn't enabled. Nothing requires the traffic to leak here, it just doesn't need to behave this way. This makes nothing simpler. And, this is undocumented behavior. Don't buy into the argument that this makes some UX better. It doesn't.

By default this feature is also disabled.

What happens when multiple features in conflict are both turned on is a classic UI problem. Quietly doing a compromise between them is the exact kind of opinionated default that I am talking about.
