They must. Otherwise it cannot be tested within the labs.
And producing chips before a standard is finalized is usually no problem at all: there are gates within the standardization process where the will be no more changes that are relevant for the silicon.
These 802.11n-draft APs were a singular fuckup regarding this.
Thanks to Wireguard and basically 0% battery overhead on Android I always keep it activated. If you don't have a Wireguard endpoint just use Orbot to route it through Tor.
Did that several times using cheap eSIMs while traveling.
Never had a single problem with it (but increased latency because of weird routings around the world).
