I'm afraid that more is needed for the home network. Think about all the CPEs that display the map of connected devices (and that a user can manage), assign a static IP address for specific machines, program time slots when connectivity access is allowed for some devices, or future deployments where a specific DoH URI Template can be returned to one child PCs, etc. 

Cheers,
