That's not always the case. Having worked at several ISPs you'd be surprised
at how many rely on the CPE (Customer Premise Equipment... aka: router) to
do some of the rate (speed) shaping for them. This is why some of the ISPs
insist you purchase your router through them OR a similar router in which
they've already had a backdoor manufactured for them to use to adjust your
speed and other settings. 

While it may not always be the case, it is with some. It sounds to me like
this one particular manufacturer is betting the farm per sale that every ISP
does this.
