What exactly is "incredibly insecure" in *sending* RAs?

I could understand if a host does not want to *receive* RAs, if the
network environment is not trusted and there is no SeND available yet.

Maybe nothing not that wrong with sending, but I recently compared DHCP and ND RA. DHCP address offer is very easy to be matched by an l3 access-list. So you can make an access-list on a switch to filter all DHCP offers on other ports than your uplink. But try to do it with RA. As far as I checked it is not that easy. Normal l3 acl would not match RA messages allowing other ND traffic.
