If you want to use your own home network router for a long time, it’s always good if it doesn’t have a built-in modem, because that way you’re not tied to a provider-specific, very specific Internet access technology.
In addition, the modem-less frits can also be cascaded wonderfully behind a provider router, which actually makes the superfluous purchase of an additional technology-dependent bridge superfluous.

I’ve been cascading my own routers behind provider access routers for over 20 years now, and in all that time I simply haven’t encountered a single situation that has prompted me to switch to a pure additional bridge.
However, if I were to encounter this situation, I would simply insert a technically suitable SFP+ slot into my own router to completely replace the provider CPE, which I don’t want to do yet.
Of course, everyone can always decide for themselves what they consider to be the best technical solution.
