Most people will first run the server to 'have a look', and if they employ the principle of abundant caution they would be unlikely to allow calibre through the firewall on that occasion.
It asks to set exclusions when the content server is first started.

Mind, if someone is very cautious, I don't see why one would allow the firewall exclusion during install not knowing what it does as opposed to when one enables the content server where there are tooltips/descriptions of which might explain why the exception is needed.

Bittorrent clients, FTP servers, etc, I understand asking during install since that's their whole purpose. If I were unfamiliar with Calibre's features though, I'd wonder why a library management program would need a firewall exception.
