I think I may have this backwards.

Bought last year a $300.-- FritzBox 7490. Returned the first one because
it did not sync with my ISP. Returned the replacement because GRC
Shieldsup (https://www.grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2) test showed 100's of
open ports. FritzBox Australia claimed this is "normal" and is not a
security risk. The supplier refunded the purchase price, Using now a
$78.-- TP-Link TD-VG3631 with Voip. Not as fancy. Just works and has no
open ports that can't be closed.

Are you sure it was actually showing "open" ports? It would show "closed"
ports, rather than "stealth" if your firewall uses '-j REJECT' instead of '-j
DROP' packets.
The FritzBox firewall has no provisions to set REJECT or DROP.
