Because a modem+router and a router are not functionally equivalent.
Knowing nothing, I'd expect Verizon to provide some kind of (simple)
gizmo, like, say, an optical network terminal (ONT) which would let you
connect and use the router of your choice. Which could be a mesh
system, if that's what you want.
They might prefer that you got some all-in-one box from them, but I
doubt that it's a requirement.
