Wifi 6 doesn't support 6Ghz, you have to use Wifi 6E for that, which seems intentionally confusing. (kbin.social)

I disagree. The number has never had anything to do with frequency.

see wi-fi 4, which operates on the 2.4 and 5ghz bands

It's a missed opportunity for the 2 things to finally line up.

That would make wi-fi 7 confusing when it doesn't introduce the 7ghz band.
Also wi-fi 6 would operate then not only on 6ghz but also on 2.4 and 5ghz, which, once again would make it not really align anyways.
