I’m not sure that ghz and version number were ever intended to be interchangeable, were they? I think if it happened it would be a happy coincidence.

True, it is coincidence IEEE 802.11 --> Wi-Fi 1

IEEE 802.11b --> Wi-Fi 2

IEEE 802.11a --> Wi-Fi 3

IEEE 802.11n --> Wi-Fi 4

IEEE 802.11ac --> Wi-Fi 5

IEEE 802.11ax --> Wi-Fi 6

IEEE 802.11ax in 6 GHz --> Wi-Fi 6E

IEEE 802.11be --> Wi-Fi 7

Has nothing todo with GHz frequency.
