Also, the reason I've seen users rationalize over-spending on routers, is that they think it won't go out of date as soon.

While is this may or not be true, having the software stack based on Debian, means there is a clear and long-term upgrade path (both hardware and software-wise) for that router they are buying, which is much more than other suppliers can say.
