That's a good question - those marketing shots seem to be designed for selling higher-end vehicles to the younger / up-and-coming generation.
It would be worth some discovery effort and likely create an interesting legal question, in my extremely-ignorant-of-settled-copyright-law mind.
I, like many other people are limited not only in ISP choice, but in the choice of gateways / endpoints / modems supported by the ISP.
While I would prefer to go cable, the network in my area isn't stable enough for my work - I have to be online nearly 24-7.
Thus, I'm stuck with AT&T, who won't support 3rd-party hardware and are now dealing with these issues.
As such, one of the only options to increase your own security is to deploy a small firewall / router (I chose the EdgeRouter X from Ubiquiti) and a whole-house mesh Wi-Fi system that fit my needs.
Now, even though the gateway provided by AT&T is still vulnerable, and is potentially open for abuse by large botnets, at least my home network is locked down and unreachable except via VPN.

If you can't avoid ISP hardware, mitigate the risk
