To be fair it's listed under the firewall, and since Java applets are one of THE main vectors for cross-platform exploits it's not unreasonable to offer the ability to filter them at sysadmin level. Most hardware firewalls (IPFire, pfSense etc) offer the exact same filtering - and tons more, naturally - for the same reasons.
While the ISP should be data agnostic, offering basic filtering functionality to the user for their choice isn't a bad thing imho.
