You are incredibly incorrect, in fact the market for those devices is in the Billions of Dollars. But you continue to 
pretend that it doesn’t exist.

There are MANY real world use cases which require high throughput at 64 byte packet size. Denying those use cases

Yes but it's not an addressable market. Such a market will just buy
silly putty for 2bucks and modify the existing face-plate to do 64B.

No one will ship that box for you, because the addressable market
gladly will take more WAN ports as trade-off for large minimum mean
packet size.
