This is precisely why I chose to install DD-WRT on all my routers. Not only does it give me more fine grain control over all my admin privileges, I know I don't have to rely on some company making the cost-benefit decision over if it's worth patching security bugs.
Until there is some legally required amount of time to provide security updates for connected devices, I would expect the "buy a new one if you want to be protected" response to continue indefinitely.
You always kind of get what you pay for. If you pay an annual maintenance, then you can expect regular and secure updates, otherwise you are buying the product as is at time of purchase.
Then again, I buy stuff that can be flashed with OpenWRT ...
It's times like this i'm glad my home router is a x86 mini PC running Arch Linux + iptables + Unifi (Complete with DNS MITM forcing all DNS out of my apartment over TLS)
I'm more of an app developer that does DevOps stuff when I have to. Is this something I can get done in a day or so? Is a Raspberry Pi enough, or do I need something more powerful?

What do you expect from companies that sell kit at $50/£50/€50? You always kind of get what you pay for.

I'd expect cheap mass-produced routers to be around $15 - $25, like an immersion blender.. I don't quite understand why cheap ones are still $40-$60.
