Well, if the best practice for CPE routers included as a matter of course
the subnets "connected to internet", "local only (e.g. IoT)" and "guest
network", and if they just worked,  then they wouldn't mind that either.

A friend of mine used to refer to this as 'refrigerator consciousness" - he
was a gearhead, so it was a pejorative.  Instead, I think of it as a design
goal.
