I'm not seeing how this would help with these smart devices connecting automatically to mesh networks? (i.e. Amazon sidewalk 900mhz band).

It would not, but I deal with that threat differently - I don't buy such devices.

They won't necessarily disclose those devices have that ability upfront. Look at the Nest thermostat.
