No. The question is how will you know it's good design. The answer is, I prefer to keep you guessing.

Nice Strawman there!
There are many ways to skin a cat and many safeguards that can be used to secure an OS.
Open source makes it easy to find which ones are in use and closed source makes it difficult.
The message is that good design plus obscurity beats just good design. That, at least, is the theory behind steganography.
You've confused NAT with VLAN. Two very separate things. VLAN requires local communication through the router, NAT doesn't. And it has no impact on network traffic, LAN or WAN.
Behind NAT everybody is part of one happy non-routable family. If you want to control who gets out through the router, that's what MAC address filtering is about and that, in most cases is a one-click effort in the router dialog (at least it is on my cheap SMB router). SPI's a given. Nobody's built a router without it in a very long time.
If you want to open a port for inbound connections, that's also just a few keystrokes. Nothing complicated.
Nobody suggested NAT replaces firewalls. It just makes everything else easier.
As usual, RTFA, if you have the requisite skill. The only content on the network involved is BT premium content. There is nothing else there to throttle. Even if you have trouble reading, you can see it in the picture.
Separate server, separate network, separate service.
So what are you going to do? Make it illegal to bypass existing internet nodes to deliver IP services? Make it illegal to offer more bandwidth than existing IP services? How about making it illegal to charge more than any existing IP Service? How about making it illegal to charge less than any existing IP Service?
Why don't we just quit all this nonsense and pass laws for bandwidth and price controls, along with an "IP Commission" to enforce them?
Oops! Somebody once said "Be careful with sarcasm; the idiots are certain take it as advice."
The big problem with this is that most of the world's and humanity's interesting systems are chaotic. You may get lucky and find an attractor or two.
In any case, simulation can show you plausible futures, but they'll have no predictive value. The outputs will be little more than cybernetic speculative fiction.
On the other hand, there's no explaining chaos to a politician, or to a scientist who believes that more data and higher resolution are all that's needed to clear up the confusion; the grant money will keep flowing.

Python doesn't have turtle graphics; the language these folk created is Basic with turtle graphics.

My kids learned Logo and got pretty good with it but neither of them codes for a living.

There are two ways to write error-free programs; only the third one works.
