Well, you're not off base, but there's not a whole lot to be done about it, either. This same issue comes up for any new service - you want to allow IM, for example, you've got to open a port; you want to allow NetMeeting, you've got to open a port, etc. Not everything can be delivered over TCP/80. So, yes, the firewall issue does challenge penetration; if the service becomes popular enough, there will be pressure on network administrators to allow that traffic, I suppose.
