Fiber services typically give you a dynamic IP address at an RJ-45 jack in a location that you specify. You can plug any router or computer directly into that jack. Their “modem” is typically tucked away in an ONT box on the outside of the house or in a low voltage panel in the garage. You don’t need to be concerned about using a vendor approved modem/router. Besides that convenience, bits are bits.
