UPnP Flaws everywhere

OK only on the Internet.  Basically some researchers found thousands and thousands of devices on the Internet via UPnP (v1 or SSDP, and V2 or WSD).  Why is this a printer problem.  Well most printers support one or both forms of UPnP.  Of course my 2 cents.  WHY THE HECK ARE THESE DEVICES ACCESSABLE FROM THE INTERNET?   Said part is most of those devices will most likely remain in the state they are in.
