WiFi6E standard in UK and Hong Kong are same. I believe this is the reason why RAXE300 have a Netgear UK label at the bottom

I wonder if we are seeing a Brexit effect here?
My experience of Netgear devices is that those sold into Europe with the EUS model suffix are not region locked.
If it has UK, that is now outside the EU so they may have different setting

Who knows, probably these devices no longer need to match EU regulations, as it's an isolated island now. Not fully truth for Gibraltar. While not specific for the 6 GHz band, an interesting note on Wikipedia ref https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_WLAN_channels#United_Kingdom_2 .
United Kingdom
The UK's Ofcom regulations for unlicensed use of the 5 GHz band is similar to Europe, except that DFS is not required for the frequency range 5.725–5.850 GHz and the SRD maximum mean e.i.r.p is 200 mW instead of 25 mW.[62]Additionally, 5.925–6.425 GHz is also available for unlicensed use, as long as it is used indoors with an SRD of 250 mW.

Yes, this is what most active community members experienced on earlier router series.
