What device is MSQ-RTAXIC00?

According to https://fccid.io/MSQ-RTAXIC00 Asus submitted a new device to FCC for approval a week ago. What conclusions can be drawn about the hardware from the model name?

MSQ = Asus
RT= router
AX = WiFi6

But what about IC00?

According to the FCC documents:

ZenWiFi ET8
AXE6600 Tri Band WiFi Router

2.4 GHz (2TX/2RX)
5 GHz (2TX/2RX)
6 GHz (4TX/4RX)
Bluetooth (1TX/1RX)

So a mesh-device?

Why Bluetooth on a router? Does any other router support that?

This appears to be the 6E version of the XT8.

Bluetooth is commonly used in mesh systems for "onboarding" aka set up via app.
