Even today, people are deploying multiple subnets in their homes. For example, Apple's Airport allows you to trivially set up a "guest" network that uses a different prefix (192.168.0.0/24) and different SSID than your "normal" network (10.0.1.0/24).
Clearly, you think you're in the right and that you're making a valid and salient point. I see the above as unreasonable rationale. The very definition of "trivial" I would contend here - I honestly don't know a single resi user who has even logged into their modem/router. They're shipped with the username/password already entered by many ISPs these days, so they don't even have to set it up, they just plug it an and "use the internet".
I can order VOIP and IP-TV services from the broadband provider I use at home. This is realised by using a separate subnet per service, so with VOIP+IPTV+Internet I'm already using three distinct subnets. I don't have to configure anything - that's all handled by my ISP. I just have to connect the IP telephone and IPTV tuner to the correct port on the CPE and I'm ready to go.
