To be fair, Espressif aren't the only ones. SiLabs announced the SiWx917 eons ago, and they finally appeared on Digi-Key like 3 weeks ago, but only in bulk, and the only dev board available is $200, and no Zephyr support, and this, and that...

Interesting, thanks for reminding me about that one. 5ghz is pretty rare for IoT chipsets
