What's up with the Wi-Fi 6E Extender?

[wireless]

So I see Telus finally has Wi-Fi 6E, only they seem to be doing it in a rather weird way. Firstly, I found the deivce in a self install page on the Telus support site, but nowhere else on Talus's website, which is bizarre. Secondly, the setup is super bizarre. Apparently, you first have to connect it to a Boost Wi-Fi 6 via ethernet, then you can move it to any spot in the home. The question is why not just have it replace the Boost 6 in the first place rather than be an extender device?
