Just like the operating system on your computer & cell phone, you can change the software running on your router.

Or I’ve heard you could run it in a Docker container on a bigger machine

You can definitely run it in a VM (which is how I handle it) but container support wouldn't surprise me.

The "silly" part was more that if you have x86 you can use opnsense/pfsense but I'm with you in that SQM is a big draw as well as less risk of compatibility issues as my APs are also flashed with openwrt. And the BSDs were well behind on wireguard support when I first switched to x86, although they have since caught up now I believe.

Exactly, standardization is a very significant pro. Hardware support being a dependency for standardization. I wrote a simple SaltStack module for OpenWrt and I'm using that to manage the config of multiple OpenWrt devices across multiple locations. That happens to live along with the rest of my Salt code which manages everything else.
