Seems more likely that residential modems will be required to use ISP-provided equipment that has government mandated chips, firmware, etc to filter outbound traffic for DDoS prevention.

Why should they be required to have hardware in their own network to filter that out when the ISP is obviously receiving all of their traffic anyway?

Sometimes the attack, or amplification, comes from the ISP-provided router and its bargain basement firmware.
