Every router shipped these days either by the cable company or separately is configured with a password by default.

And a guest wifi that is password free on by default. All it takes is a neighbor to get a new router from the ISP. I just had to turn my guest wifi off because I noticed a lot of bandwidth on it (likely coming from our neighbor who was bragging about cord cutting).

It's anecdotal, but I live in an apartment and while most of the WIFI networks are password protected, not all are.
