I agree with your assessment. I do feel, however, that our ISP's should be doing more to help the majority of users who are non-technical with improved solutions, with the growth in smart devices: music devices, cameras, doorbells, washing machines, fridges, tablets, watches, light bulbs, etc, the risks increase, so I disagree with your don't want or need point, as it is more they don't know why these features help with security, who doesn't want to be secure, the issue today is it is too complex for your standard household to implement.
But big ISP's could change that - What if the standard router offerings came with say different wifi SSIDs preconfigured with say Guests, Kids, IoT, Work and Home for instance, with some basic isolation it would be a significant security improvement over the standard configuration the majority live with today - and will help with the growing number of connected devices, and those friends and guests that are all jumping on their broadband connections.
It is unlikely to happen, as you say, but one can still dream 😉
BT moderators, food for thought?
