And no, not every internet service provider offers wi-fi cable modems. Which is why standalone router and powerline networking hardware is available all over and continually under development.

When Comcast swapped out the telephone modem and Internet modem for one of the all-in-one modems with WiFi, I had Comcast turn off the WiFi because I preferred to use my WiFi router that has much better security.
I had a look in the settings of Comcast's router and it wasn't nearly as secure. I had their router connected to mine and I wasn't using theirs. But they were able to disable the WiFi remotely.
