Anyway, most, if not, ALL of them have cheap routers that provide this

I have a cheap router sitting by my left hand as I type this, and I'm
here to tell you that it doesn't contain an NTP server. There's very
little to be gained by adding an extra stratum solely for the sake of
dividing up the hops for the UDP/IP traffic, you know. And you're
missing the point that what you are talking about is merely yet another
form of external time server, not qualitatively different from any other
as far as the Windows Time Service is concerned.
If have a router of that sort as well. Not only does it lack an NTP
client it also lacks a clock! (Linksys BEFR81)
Expecting "Joe Sixpack" to configure NTP on a cheap router is just
asking for trouble! Trouble of the "University of Wisconsin" sort.
Or PHK vs. Dlink.
