Laziness on the part of the network operators.

Seriously, they're just too lazy to auto-generate firewall rules from their list of assigned addresses.



I would argue Hanlon's razor applies here.

I think vendors also have some responsibility. The defaults are bad and the vendors make their devices hard to manage on purpose (for lock-in reasons). I'm looking at Cisco in particular.


Nope: someone will come up and say "network neutrality" and believe he would be right in this case.
