ICMP gets blocked because it’s a violation of a lot of legal and contractual requirements to allow it on a network.
my company just signed a contract, and this was a requirement of the contract for us to do the work. So now we block it. It’s inconvenient, but we need to make money.
a lot of IT contractual obligations are horribly out of date technologically, but they are a legal liabilty so they have to be enacted. Our contract also required us to not use Windows XP explicitly, this is because a lot of place still do in a limited capacity like for controllers.
