It simply is not common and will not become common. Not everyone is a network engineer.

You can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make it drink. If people choose to be the authors of their own 
misfortunes, that is their choice. I know a good many folks who are not members of NANOG yet have multiple separate L2 
and L3 networks to keep the "crap" isolated.

We can't get people to use passwords judiciously (create them at all for 
WiFi, change them, use more than one, etc.) and now you want them to 
manage networks?

Well, if the best practice for CPE routers included as a matter of course 
the subnets "connected to internet", "local only (e.g. IoT)" and "guest 
network", and if they just worked, then they wouldn't mind that either. 


A friend of mine used to refer to this as 'refrigerator consciousness" - 
he was a gearhead, so it was a pejorative. Instead, I think of it as a 
design goal.
