Putting the burden on ISPs is never going to happen. They are in the business of moving bits. While some, unfortunately, do things like traffic shaping, deep packet inspection, and all other sorts of middleboxes -- that is all for economic purposes. There is not nor will ever be an economic incentive for an ISP to filter traffic traversing their network unless it is directly impacting their operations. and when that happens, they take the most direct and effective route: bit bucket it and notify the offender to clean up their house :)

there is nothing stopping you from having Route53 and $others as NS records for your domains. You just have to make sure they stay consistent. Apparently from the linked discussion, there are people offering scripts and services to do just that.
frankly, they don't need an "open" wifi network to get whatever data they might be interested in.
Default free providers such at NTT, GTT, Zayo/AboveNet, Level3/Global Crossing, ATT, CenturyLink/Qwest, Deutsche Telekom, Vodafone/Cable & Wireless, and others commonly (but incorrectly) known as Tier 1/"backbone" providers peer with other networks in a settlement free (no money is exchanged, or, on an accounting basis, everything zeros out) fashion because they are "peers" in the strictest sense: same size, same reach, same markets (mostly...)
there is no danger for them in passing bits
ISPs have thin margins, and get paid to push bits. DDoS mitigation services are extremely expensive not because they are complex or novel but because they require significant resources (both in hardware and in software expertise).
If manufacturers are going to sling "shit" and we can't hold them accountable; consumers are going to buy the polished turds and we can't prevent them plugging it into their networks; and ISPs have little to zero incentive or ability to "filter out the bad traffic" then we're basically looking at a 5-10 year span of increasingly detrimental, expensive, and effective denial of service attacks.
Many home routers are horrifically insecure with numerous remote vulnerabilities. Many IoT devices have vulnerable and accessible interfaces locally and externally.
I'm just not sure I believe the newer models ratings. mine is much more efficient in water use on paper than what the water meter clearly states.
