The unanswered question is what should be considered reasonable?  And
how much of a burden should the end-user carry?

Plugging into the network is like owning a house. You're at the edge of a 
public network, whether it be a road or a wire. Just as you lock your 
front door, there needs to be a way to lock your computer. It is up to the 
OS vendor to provide some user friendly means to access and secure ones 
computer.
