Prayank, thanks for taking the time to inform the wider community.

I just want to clarify to avoid confusion that this is about whether to
open automatic outgoing connections to a peer at addr:port if port is
not 8333. Right now, Bitcoin Core has a very very strong preference
towards peers that listen on port 8333. So, if one listens on !=8333
then he is practically not getting any incoming connections (from
Bitcoin Core).

See the PR for details and justifications:
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/23542.
