I assume the expectation is for any equipment that needs a public IP to
be plugged directly into the router's layer 2 network.
I'm not seeing this with one specific ISP, it is the default
configuration for new internet connections from almost any ISP, and
increasingly I'm finding the effort needed to get it changed ranges from
"really quite inconvenient" to "never gonna happen".
Its obviously not an issue where the firewall itself can be a PPPoE
endpoint, or where the CPE is user-configurable. But connections
terminated on CPE that only the ISP can manage seem to be very common
these days.
