Because it's not crucial to the service/device functioning. Most people can get by without needing to using their own router, and those that do need it are generally competent enough to apply the workaround.

Long as it works well enough for most people they can sell it to most people, and the custom they lose from not having bridge mode is far less than what they'd lose by not being able to sell any service at all. Even I'd put up with the Superhub if it were my only option for a 50mb/100mb connection.

That said, the above is only true as far as the Superhub is required for the 100mb service, which in actual fact it's not >_>

Needs of the many > Needs of the few.

They can't please everybody, and as with STM, a few people lose out while a great majority benefit. Slightly.
