This is for devices sold, specifically new devices sold. Not the existence (or making of) and it only affects specifically consumer-grade devices sold explicitly for the consumer market. So it wouldn't affect universities, homelabs, or any corporation.

It is just a shake down for bribes to continue selling routers in the US, that's it.

Yeah, it's that consumer label that confuses me. Like, I doubt too many businesses are buying $54 USD Netgear WAPs, and their language specifically included SoHo stuff iirc.
