The standard attenuator is smaller. the 14dB output of the drop is definitely not too hot.

The cable companies use various types of filters on the drop boxes. Some are there when cable modems are used and they put them on the outputs without the modem. Some use to be used to filter out the digital signal when only the analog signal was needed, etc, etc.
