i feel like the wifi issues are kind of overblown, i mean 300 down is still blazing fast -- but that is just my usage

Yeah exactly. Like it sucks because I have 6E and it can’t really use it, but it’s only a big deal when transferring large files on my network.

I wonder if this could be due to regulatory domain at all?

6E didn't work on my Elitebook until I set it from global to my local country. But completely different WiFi chip.

I currently get 600 using an Intel AX201 card and 900 from a better router.

The intel stack is more mature right now as someone pointed out in the comments above. Down the road AMD will get better with better drivers and newer chips. If wifi speeds matter to someone and they are upgrading from an older intel board then keeping the old wifi card would make sense as of now.
