Wifi6e/7 6ghz spectrum that was reserved for wifi got approved to get auctioned off

I don't think that's exactly right. Spectrum that's already reserved for unlicensed use (wifi) was explicitly excluded from the auction directive.

There may be some spectrum in that band that's not already reserved for wifi yet that will end up auctioned, though.

The act itself still appears to include the language excluding wifi spectrum.

Certain frequencies used primarily by the Department of Defense and unlicensed devices, including Wi-Fi, are excluded from auction eligibility

EDIT: Unless that only protected sub-6 wifi frequencies...
