Security is a process. If that process is made easier for some users by using NAT, then it's a benefit. Home users can't manage firewalls effectively. NAT is a good method (even if flawed) to protect some classes of users. Is it perfect? No. But that's why you also have other protections at other layers (host-based firewall, virus scanners, etc.)
