As someone not involved in this space I assumed there was specialist hardware. My pi Pico can do fancy things with DMA etc, without the CPU at all.
So why isn't there this kind of stuff in routers?

There is, and it is. Just not in this specific SoC, originally intended for general-purpose computing.
So why would CPU speed be the bottleneck then?
