In the EU, residential users have a right to use their own routers. IMHO, this should be the norm, and ISPs shouldn't be shipping routers to users.

Problem is, most folks aren't aware of how much spying the ISP routers do, and they want the most easy and convenient choice. Hence the status quo.

Same in the US!

Unfortunately, only the nerdiest nerds do things like buy their own routers...and that sort of thing is pretty much impossible to evangelize.
