The question it does not answer is the one that matters, because it needs both halves at once: a port is reachable only when something is LISTENING on a network address AND the firewall permits it. Either alone tells you nothing -- which is how a tidy set of rules coexists with an exposed database, as it does on this machine, where Fedora Workstation's zone opens every port above 1024 and rootless containers publish on all interfaces.
