This is a reasonable point of view, until you notice Linux desktops

Then a non technical user start Rythmbox, enable music sharing, and
it works perfectly on their home network but then decides to buy a
WAN card/USB stick and suddenly all the music is being shared to the
world.
I wish NetworkManager could do something about these situations,
maybe the default should be the public zone for interfaces that
receive public IP addresses.
I don't have a good answer to this, other than to complain to the
Rhythmbox developers. That's extremely bad if it's possible to
accidentally share your music to the world.
