Yet in practice pretty much every ISP deploying IPv6 to residential is doing so with RFC 6092, or stricter. Perhaps with a toggle to turn off firewalling, but that’s the reality.

OTOH it seems that PCP support in hosts / CPEs isn't exactly widespread.

Next gen malware will come via email (just like today), it will encrypt your hard drive, and then setup and c2 network on your pc via pcp controls.  Sad!

True, and that happens with UPnP today...
