There is already a very real incentive for ISPs to do more: zombified PCs connected to their network are chewing up bandwidth and spewing spam across the Internet.
I really doubt that the bandwidth from those few zombies justifies a greater expense in the provision of routers. (Don't forget that they're in a competitive market, where the setup cost is the biggest selling point.)
How, exactly, did people learn to lock their doors at night?
I sometimes don't. There's little reason to. When I do, it's out of habit from living elsewhere.
Seriously - yes, you're right, there's nothing better than a short sharp shock. But waiting until everybody's been stung with a dialler scam won't help.
