The article estimates the number of these routers in the author's home country (Belgium), but the vulnerability would exist in units sold worldwide, no? Seems to me that their estimates of affected units are a couple orders of magnitude low.

unless affected Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) are willing to migrate.

...or someone spends a bit of time with an AI to come up with a patch? Bonus points for one that can be remotely installed using the same exploit...
