Seems they updated it to ports 1024 - 65535 which is only marginally better. Meaning someone at Nintendo put some thought into it and still decided that this is the best guidance they can give..

    Lower ports are reserved, so they don't want to create more issues when users apply the lazy solution. If problems start days later, people will remember they followed some weird instructions, buy they will forget weeks later.

    Firewalls and NAT suck. Users have to go through strange procedures in their router's unpolished, bespoke interface just to be able to run a server. Imagine having a phone that can make calls but not receive them. The internet is broken.
