Mine does, but I suppose we're talking about standard CPE devices. They indeed only do the minimum and are often locked down to prevent you from adding or changing anything.

The reality is, of course, that it is way too expensive to support millions of home users when they start relying on the CPE for more services or start changing the settings.
