Some of these devices are controlled by the ISP. The TMobile 5G routers for example are pretty much black box devices controlled by TMobile. The home owner can't fix the device and has very limited access (via a mobile app) to 'manage' the device.
I don't think there's a strong overlap between ISP-controlled black boxes and compromised botnet nodes. However, if there is, that just means that the ISPs should be partially held liable.
