This is amazing. How does it work? What stops me going to the devices behind the router?

Nothing, apart from IPv6' ginormous address space.

However, I have yet to see proof of any provider that actually deployed home routers this way.

If you looked, I'm sure you could find somebody somewhere. It's not even close to common though.
