They're trying to control traffic flow, not just advertise it. Standard routers usually include this kind of built-in feature. It's not a unique or advanced function. Many IoT gadgets use limited bandwidth on the 2.4GHz frequency, which fits most wireless setups. These ports are meant for that purpose. Whether you need a switch depends on your setup—ideally one with separate 2.4GHz and 5GHz connections. If you have many wired devices, a solid switch would help. The recommendation is 1x 2.4GHz and 2x 5GHz radios. Full 6GHz support comes with WiFi 6E. Check out some guides for WiFi 6 routers if you're interested.
