Routers should be adapting to growing IoT. The ability to easily prevent Internet access or access to certain country IP pools like China. A really easy way to manage routers e.g. through an app will help mitigate the threat somewhat. But it would require a unified API or some sort and not installing CF.

Routers are themselves often easily hackable and turned into malware launching nodes. Expecting router manufacturers to help us is a pipe dream.

Routers are a joke. Did I ever tell how my current solution at home fetches the DHCP leases (to get the list of devices connected to the network)?
Basically, to access the data you need to send an auth token along with request. How can you get such a token? By logging in, of course. Or, by firing your request anyway, which will cause the router to return you an error page with a cookie containing the auth token you need.
That's just... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
