Researchers at The Citizen Lab have for the first time released technical evidence of sophisticated mercenary spyware being distributed via online advertising.
Routers are usually hardware level optimized for throughput, filtering is inherently computationally expensive compared to routing (not crazy expensive just more than usually fits an FPGA), especially if you have to keep up multi-gigabit throughput
You could totally do it at the router, it would just become a more expensive piece of hardware and most people choose to cheap out

I doubt a DNS filter would noticeably increase CPU usage. We’re not talking about deep packet inspection here.
