Fair enough, they’re doing it to protect their business.

To what extent do they need consent to port scan, though? They're not intending to do anything malicious, and in fact (assuming you are the owner of the account that's signed in) they're doing it partly to benefit you. Is there a law against port scanning? Does it affect users in any way?
Tell that to every corporation on Earth, especially to Banks, that "port scanning your perimeter is an innocent thing". Tell that your employer as well and do tell us what's your job status afterwards.

IPv6 with a public routed address still means there is a firewall, just like with NATv4. NATv4 just also has a NAT router with that firewall.
