Many of us would prefer if a (multi channel) modem was the only CPE supplied, leaving customers to set up their networks as they think best. Although technically superior, that won't happen even as a paid-for option, for purely commercial reasons

I'd partially challenge that. True, you did qualify the remark with "ADSL". But the real competitor to VM now is BT Infinity. With that, BT provide a separate modem and router. Also you can put your own nodem (or gateway/hub) on instead of the BT supplied device.
VM provided the hub out of misguided stupidty. Nothing else.
