Ok, here we go again with the crazy comparisons! Yes, because they aren't renting you use of their product, they are in the business to sell you their product and therefore try and market you something better than the average ISP's router. It's been a long time since they were selling a product the mass
needed

Company B - VM supply a broadband connection.

*sighhhh*
ISP A - Supplies a modem, says it's providing the 'service' it is desired to do. Leaves you to think about your home network.
ISP B - Supplies a device that provides both the modem and something that also happens to be a device that to your average user gives them all the tools they need for their home network, but... Also allows you to use this device to plug in your own router for those that like to do things their own way.
What's the majority going to go for?
I can't believe you think ISP's for home broadband just try to sell you the WAN side of your connection, when they spend so much marketing trying to sell the whole package.. Why did the 2ac come along when the hub 2 had resolved the poor wifi the hub 1 suffered with? Technology moved along and people had devices they wanted to utilise it with and VM's biggest rival just so happened to have an AC router. Would the the majority care about this? No, I guess the company thinks about the future of technology because they don't want to be left behind the curve, or want to be before it. I won't postulate though
