Also possible with open firmware on low-cost ESP32 devices, https://wrlab.github.io/Wi-ESP/ & https://github.com/StevenMHernandez/ESP32-CSI-Tool

But there's a big difference in custom firmware used in a few products and IEEE standardization in every new WiFi access point.

We need more funding for countermeasures, https://ans.unibs.it/projects/csi-murder/

How much effective can this attack be? ... With CSI-MURDER, the localization becomes impossible because results will seem random, thus preserving the person privacy without destroying Wi-Fi communications.
