Default Xfinity's modem/router needed?

We are moving to The Villages next month and in the process of researching internet providers. Looks like Xfinity is the provider in our area. On their website, it suggests we use their modem/router (xFi Gateway) at an additional cost in order to have "unlimited data" for our home internet service.

Xfinity website says unlimited data is not included when using personal equipment. Is this true? Is Xfinity trying to make an additional buck by requiring subscribers to buy their equipment or will we need their Gateway box to have peace of mind? We never heard of this....we are coming from out of state, use Spectrum with our "own" modem/router equipment and never worry about data usage from inside our home.

Thank you for any helpful information.
