Is it normal to not have any malicious login attempts? (reddthat.com)

I've been running Home Assistant for three years. It's port forwarded on default port 8123 via a reverse proxy in a dedicated VM serving it over HTTPS and is accessible over ipv4 and ipv6. All user accounts have MFA enabled.

I see a notification every time there's a failed login attempt, but every single one is either me or someone in my house. I've never seen a notification for any other attempts from the internet. Not a single one.

Is this normal? Or am I missing something? I expected it to be hammered with random failed logins.

.... that you know of.

I have crowdsec running on my caddy reverse proxy for my home server and it's logging and blocking at least 10-20 hostile IP addresses trying to do port scans/other automated script hacks every day.
