While it might seem frivolous to install a third party firmware, and I would agree it is for most people, I would say that more people should be interested in that option. Like I alluded to earlier, some manufacturers stop providing updates after a few years, which isn't good for security. The other thing is that you have more monitoring features with something like DD-WRT and OpenWRT. Finally, and most importantly, you have the ability to setup slightly more complex network rules and configurations, which are not that hard to do with so many tutorial online.
I think that even the average consumer should consider setting up VLANs on their network. Even these standard consumer routers can be configured to utilize this ability found in more expensive commercial oriented routers with those firmwares. With more and more IoT devices becoming commonplace everywhere, I think VLANs are becoming more important. People do not realize how vulnerable their networks are because of those poorly secured smart devices.
