Really cool website. Found it while trying to understand the issues with support for wifi6E.
Reading that the "normal power mode" would require sending GPS coordinates to a central database explains the limited support/availability I guess. And the regulations are different per country..
Creating wifi 6E hotspots still seems to be impossible with windows and the available wifi6E hardware.
And sellers seem to take advantage of customers, who mostly don't understand the difference between wifi6 and wifi6E.
Even Meta seems to do it for Quest3. They advertise a dedicated, super fast wifi TP-Link USB-stick which only supports wifi6 and not 6E(which is the whole point of using wifi6 with the Quest3)
As I understand it, the FCC is the sole regulatory agency which requires this weird setup (of pinging and determining stuff just to have a higher power) - other countries, probably understanding how confusing and weird this setup is, just basically cap the power to 200mW-ish for indoor use (in most countries which allows 6GHz Wi-Fi that is, a lot of countries are not allowing them at all).
You've got things backwards: The FCC is just as sane as anywhere else when it comes to indoor low power (no requirements) but all the other regulatory agencies lack the option of something like AFC if you want to go beyond the 250 mW EIRP client limit (1000 mW EIRP AP limit). See the table on page 2 https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/DOC-375609A1.pdf
You may have mixed this with outdoor use, which the FCC does require AFC for regardless of power, but I'd still argue even the outdoor regulation is saner than how most countries approached the band. I.e. rather than say "no, you can't use all/most of this 6 GHz space outdoors at all because there are some incumbents" the option of "Despite there being incumbents, you can use the band up to 4000 mW EIRP from the AP and 1000 mW EIRP from the client on the condition you tie into the AFC system to make sure you aren't interfering with an incumbent by doing so" is available.
