Would be curious to see the full analysis. As things stand, this sounds more like biased research by an industry group where the primary motivation is getting more spectrum. This may or may not be a good idea, but it's difficult to trust an industry association that does not include all stakeholders.

That's because they keep making the channels wider. Everyone thinks they need 320MHz channels just to stream a movie and now we're back to only having room for 3 non overlapping channels just like on 2.4GHz. They should have limited it to 80MHz channels.
There's always 60Ghz if you really need fast WiFi. It doesn't go through walls, so you won't get any interference from your neighbors.
Might be a first world problem, but I can't put up enough access points even for 5 GHz. Most of our devices default to 2.4 GHz. Otherwise the connection is super unstable, even just one room over. Are you supposed to put two in each room with 6 GHz?
Could this be linked to the size of your walls and the exact "line" towards the router?
I have some locations in the family apartment where only 2.4 GHz works (two walls).
Yeah, I dont think is that critical. The average Joe can't really use the full bandwidth of WiFi 6 and I don't think we already live in the world of everything is WiFi 6, a lot of device still use the 2.4 and 5 frequency.
