I think they generally find it uninteresting because I never get sustained attacks. It doesn't appear that they have ever gotten in. I guess very few people have worked on breaking into routers because it's a lot easier to penetrate via malware and email attacks. OTOH, I seem to remember that anonymous got into someone's home router somehow, probably by guessing the person's password.
