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]

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It's more likely an out-of-date regulatory database that predates 5GHz being allowed in those regions.
