Comcast/Xfinity in fact gives me a discount for using their router. Probably because (a) it lowers their support burden and (b) they are logging and selling my web traffic or at least DNS lookups.

That's surprising to me, it was when I used Comcast (2016) that I first purchased a cable modem. It did save me money.
