AP6 6GHz and the band steering checkbox in Sophos Central

The checkbox for an AP6 420E says: "Band steering: Dual-band capable wireless clients will be steered to 5 GHz by default."

Is this just old phrasing, or does it only apply to 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, but not 6 GHz? Or is it no longer necessary with WiFi 6E?

In other words, if I turn it on, will it steer 6GHz-capable clients to 6GHz? Or at least to 5GHz where they'll discover 6GHz? Or is it not necessary with an WiFi6/6E client, and it's a leftover from the Wifi4/5 days?
