Presumably so you'll be forced to use their DNS, which lets them know what sites you go to. So thanks for that Shaw.

my veri6rou ter doesn't let me do that either but I just disabled DHCP on it and run a DHCP server on my pihole, bypassing the restriction

This is your best bet. Or if you're not running a pihole (which you really should), you can manually configure TCP/IP on all your hosts.
