It's not offensive. But you were offended. Big difference.
I'm wondering what definition of the word "offensive" you're using.
Then @kn100 assigns to @bunnyfoofoo the offending behaviour.
It's the personal responsibility thing.
"I'm offended" vs "You're offensive".

Don't do this, there is no good reason to run UPNP if you care about security, turn it off and learn to manage a firewall.

The issue is letting untrusted or badly behaved devices on the network. UPnP works great, if you control which devices get on your network . Static port forwarding combined with DHCP gets annoying quickly, you end up having to set up static assignments for every device that may need a port forwarded, which can be a lot, with modern multiplayer gaming and p2p. And for applications that select a random port on startup,…
What if you run them over a VPN? I don’t use torrents much but have a client containerised with OpenVPN. I’m not a networking expert but I had assumed (with all the dangers that comes with) that this moved the problem to the VPN provider?

I find it amusing that many people are convinced that IPv6 is less safe, because there is no NAT, and at the same time use UPnP. No, NAT isn't designed for security, the blocking of incoming traffic is just side effect, you should use a firewall for security.
IPv6 could be set up so every computer has an internal address and you choose to map external to internet using 1 to 1 NAT.

Edited: deleted my comment as I was unintentionally offensive.
To rephrase this somewhat less offensively (I am the author) "I realised a potential solution but decided the drawbacks of disabling uPnP were larger than the potential risk keeping uPnP enabled poses". My household makes use of many different services that would need to be port forwarded one by one in order to keep everything working, and some games just punch whatever port they like using uPnP so it's hard to keep…
Does the following disable the FS2-210's local UPnP?
Go to TOS Desktop> Control Panel> Network Services> Discovery Service> UPnP Discovery > Uncheck "Enable UPnP discovery service"

I assume this won't break anything you don't want broken (ie- automatic port forwards), but I'm with you that the option is needlessly ambiguous.

Sure, UPnP can open ports to the outside world, but that's something that might be desired in some cases. However, devices should default to local access only, and offer an option to expose them to the world, with appropriate warning.
