Yes, I assume GP is referring to these sorts of wifi mesh devices:

- https://eero.com/

- https://www.linksys.com/us/velop/

Thread is neat, but you can't connect your laptop to Netflix with it. EasyMesh is clearly for standardizing those:

>Wi-Fi EasyMesh™ delivers a standards-based approach to deploying adaptable networks comprised of multiple access points from different vendors, extending uniform Wi-Fi coverage and enhancing performance throughout a larger service area than is possible with a single access point. Wi-Fi EasyMesh allows users and service providers to select interoperable devices across different brands to ensure fast, wide, and reliable Wi-Fi coverage.

Yes, and notably Ubiquiti and Meraki.
