Every router connected between the home network and the Internet basically can work/works as an NTP server or is easily set up as such. Precisely because there are more and more devices at home that require time synchronisation. PCs have depended on it for some time, but anything with an internal clock will be able and willing to make use of it. And that just works.

Again, I have used myself (or set up for clients) numerous routers over the years and have never encountered one that offered an NTP server out of the box. (One of them could do it via third party firmware.)
So while the FritzBox apparently does do it, I don’t think it’s a particularly common feature. It certainly isn’t something “every router” does, as you claim.

Every Mikrotik does..You need to load NTP package but it is available...
R.J.:
The question is not whether the router can be used as an NTP server or whether a network client can synchronise its system clock with a router or not.
Your PC will sync his date/time also, with or without a router configured as a NTP-server. It's just an example.
The issue is that there is currently no way to synchronise the oscilloscope's system clock with the system time of the environment in which it is located.
For example, via parameters (NTP time server URL or such) that could be entered in the network settings of the oscilloscope, you could have the firmware synchronise the system date and time/timezone when booting the scope using the (S)NTP protocol.

I tried myself on Mikrotik hap ac2 with ntp package installed, it doesn't work if no internet available. The "server" is still on the internet. Anyway you still need to set the ntp server to use on your device settings to work, which this scope doesn't have. If it has the setting no router will be needed, just IP adress of ntp server.

Niche equipment hardly makes up a significant share of the routers in use. And I even said “out of the box”, which an added package does not qualify as.
