And what are those motivations? Wouldnt patenting be the most obvious

Clearly not. There are literally thousands of existence proofs for that.

The typical response was that most ISPs prefer multiple vendors, and a
patented solution will cause issues as the other vendor will not have
that support. Is this the only  reason?

No.

This may not be the only reason, but is this a valid reason at all?

Yes. Again, there are literally thousands of existence proofs for that.
