People are way too worried about security imo. Statistically, no one is targeting you to be hacked. By the time you are important and valuable enough for your home equipment to be a target you would have hired someone else to manage this for you
I think this is very dangerous perspective. A lot of attacks on infra are automated, just try to expose a Windows XP machine to the internet for a day and see with how much malware you end up with. If you leave your security unchecked, you will end up attacked; not by someone targeting you specifically, but having all your data encrypted for ransom might still create a problem for you (even if the attacker doesn’t care about YOUR data specifically).
Once, when I was young and inexperienced, I left a server exposed to the Internet by accident (I accidentally exposed a user with username postgres, password postgres). In hours the machine had been hacked to run a botnet. Was I stupid? Yes. But I absolutely wasn't a high-profile enough person to "be a target" - clearly someone was just scanning IP addresses.
