I think you're assuming that IPv6 carries with it a policy, when it is 
merely the mechanism.

In IPv6, everything should have a unique, routeable address. Whether you 
can reach an address will be subject to local policy in the future, just 
as it is now.  And just as you cannot currently reach a device in a 
Comcast/Xfinity residential network under IPv4, you can't under the 
default IPv6 rules either.  I would call that the principle of least 
surprise.

You can open inbound IPv6 traffic for specific hosts on the routers I've 
seen.
