I've LOLed too but just an idea of a router FW in a memory safe language... is awfully convincing.

You can use snap or brew or build from source?
snap is a Ubuntu thing, nobody else uses it. Even Ubuntu users don't want to use it. Nobody uses brew outside MacOS. tio is in the AUR. Recent controversies aside, it's as easy as installing a regular package. But maybe GP doesn't have 10GB to install the entire build chain.
Presently it seems to be unlikely to find an inexpensive ( I settled for a MikroTik model when replacing my mom's router. It almost fits the criteria. I can even port forward via SSH on it.

However due to the price (Depending on availability in the 2nd hand market, it's very possible to get tri-band 11be routers for USD$50-100, usually with one or two 10GBaseT interfaces), there are still quite a few that overlook some of the difficulties involved.

Normally this should be handled by a hotplug.d script in /etc/hotplug.d/ but I'm not familiar with the stock Mikrotik firmware.

I wanted Wifi 7e recently (upgraded to really fast fiber) and went with Ubiquity for that.
I did find the Totolink X5000R extremely good. 50€, WiFi 6 on both bands, fast. But I couldn't find a 7e upgrade I would be happy with.

Point being: their "architecture" is not preventing them from installing
Also: i have no qualms with snap. Genuinely don't get the hate.

You can run snaps wherever you want. Brew is available for Linux. Point being: their "architecture" is not preventing them from installing Also: i have no qualms with snap. Genuinely don't get the hate.
While that is technically true, snaps are very much build for ubuntu. For example it's sandboxing relies on apparmor meaning on distro without it such as archlinux, there is no confinement or security advantage.
Meanwhile flatpak is an actual distro agnostic containerized package management system using namespaces and seccomp available everywhere. Its infrastructure is also officially self hostable unlike snaps.
