They should really add this, otherwise I am thinking about selling these and buying the Linksys velop mesh, which do support Homekit Secure Routers!
There are two brands now supporting "Homekit Routers", eero and Linksys. The Homekit Hub works on every brand, and is required even if a Homekit compatible Router is installed. If the Apple ecosystem is that important, sounds like the thing to do. And, I agree that Linksys is a better choice, realizing that Amazon eero may tilt toward the Amazon ecosystem over time. (Being sort of a direct competitor to Homekit.)
