I'm baffled in how the EU is so much for consumer rights and punishing Apple, Google and Microsoft but then they completely ignore the issue of choosing your own router in your own home network.

This is definitely not an EU wide issue. I’ve lived in a couple of different countries and always had the option of using my own hardware with static IPv4 and recently also static IPv6 addresses and with no port restrictions

I live in Spain and my ISP lets me do that but some ISPs don't. So, I think protecting your right to your device of choice in your own home network would be a good idea. After all, I've caught the ISP trying to eavesdrop on my network.
