Scanning for open ports on other peoples networks? How is that different from casing a house for entrances? It’s behavior only two types of people would have: criminals and security professionals.
It's more like looking through other people's windows as you walk by the street. May be creepy if you always stare at the same window, but formally there's nothing wrong with that. If you do not want people to see through your public-facing windows in your home, it's your responsibility to install blinds or shades.
Dude, what kind of town do you live in? It sounds scary!
Here in Europe many towns have narrow streets with houses directly by the street (with no front yard). It is essentially impossible to not look through the windows of people unless you make a robotic effort to avoid it.
I do that..even in a big city. It's cool when you do it to yourself, but makes much more fun with a another person, you should try it out someday.
You can ask Ebay about that.
If you don't want people to look at you, don't go out in public.
If you don't see a difference then I hope we don't share neighborhood.

consider also curious people seeking knowledge; the Internet is a massive space and an interesting phenomenon in itself, scanning is one of many ways to learn about it.
Your House is not a Server, compare it to a Butler, i yell into your house and if a Butler answers i ask him whats on the table.
