A: port forwarding is only required if not in a DMZ.
B: open ports are how machines are accessed regardless of if they are forwarded or not.
C: if you don’t understand how ports work, you have no business exposing anything.
Well I have my port open in my lan but the only way to access it outside of my lan is to port forward. I don’t understand how you can say that all you need to do is open the port and the machine can be accessed.
Same concept applies for any other service like a game server.
