Sounds more like a legal issue with permitted spectrum use than an arbitrary LG policy.

It seems like OP lives in Iran. It seems like at least a good part of the 5GHz band is available there. [1]

Is the wifi spec or perhaps chip required for it subject to export control?

Well, I have Sony and Samsung (both middle east regions) but they dont have any restrictions in these areas. I only see these kinda quirks with LG all the times.

It's more likely an out-of-date regulatory database that predates 5GHz being allowed in those regions.

Linux's wireless-regdb has proper 5G regulatory information for at least SA, CY, EG, QA, at least since 2017, just checked. The TV in the repo is 2025 year model.
