Comment (by ryansb):

 Agreed, the target use cases (GCE, EC2, OpenStack, whatever) all have
 network security external to the instance. Anyone who needs the firewall
 active can, as you said, use cloud-init or chef/puppet/ansible/salt.

 For casual cloud users, having an instance firewall deny them after
 they've set up security groups to allow the traffic would probably be
 confusing if they assume security groups "are" the firewall.
