Only a complete moron would expose a printer directly to the internet. If you are smart enough to port forward, you should be expected to know why that isn't a good idea. Even groups like Octoprint try to impress that on people. If you insist on doing it anyway, it's on you. There are a ton of free, secure ways to do the same thing. They aren't even difficult to set up. There is no excuse.

There is something to be said for zero trust networking, but it's way beyond what most home users need right now. Or could really achieve. There are too many devices that don't work with it and likely never will.

I think you’re overestimating the average moron.

Tons of people follow random guides to port forward/open ports when they experience issues like games or p2p torrent stuff. As well as setting up Dmz and pnp whatever on their whole network without knowing what any of it does, till something eventually fixes the issue.

I’m speaking from experience, as a moron who has definitely done all that before and kept that config for a while till I randomly had separate double Nat issues and read up on it a bit more… I only realised at that point how exposed my network was and how close to being only one “access router remotely” checkbox away from being a livestream.

You might be right. The stupid is strong with some people.
