Besides the IoT crap, most devices nowadays have not been "wide open"
in a long time.

So either you assume the devices are vulnerable to network attacks - and
in that case, they should not share a network with IoT and other crap.

Or you assume the devices are indeed hardened properly (otherwise, I 
would not connect a laptop to a public wifi either...) - in which case a 
firewall mostly gets in the way of getting work done.

Now, the IoT crap should just be moved to the garbage bin, and *that*
would help.
