The issue's more that in today's security-paranoid atmosphere
firewalls tend to have everything apart from a few basic services
(like HTTP and SMTP) blocked. So the binaries are still there and
reasonably widespread - you just can't use 'em :(
I generally don't (and generally won't) use networks that I don't
run, and I'm not a lazy or clueless admin...so I'm used to seeing
things a bit more "open" and functional.
