Many home routers are in the sub-$200 price range. I've seen low end devices under $50/usd. There's not much more to squeeze out.
And many won't be paying more, or installing OpenWRT, OpnSense or anything else on their own. I wish more open options were supported from vendors, but they have to lock down and make sure you can't run on frequencies or wattages not allowed in $COUNTRY, less they see massive fines.
I'm using an OpnSense device with a commercial AP myself.. it does cost a bit more, but works great and will be updated beyond what any home router will. Most seem to want a discreet all in one box.
