And then you need MACFF to overcome the split-horizon to that customers in
the same subnet can talk to each other. =)

If you have a reasonably intelligent AN (like some of
today's Active-E devices), you can create so-called split
horizons on the same bridge domain (VLAN, really) where
customers will only communicate via the upstream BNG at
Layer 3.
At Layer 2, even though they are all sitting on the same
VLAN, there is no inter-communication between them.
I've also know Huawei OLT's support these split horizons
too.

BNG's are too big to distributed that deeply, even in
distributed BNG designs. This would get costly.
Cheap switches that have decent IP/MPLS support are mostly
geared toward Metro-E deployments, i.e., business-grade
services. So they are quite poor with regard to susbcriber
management features and capabilities.
