Yeah, it's the non-router end which tends not to switch rather than the router end. Beam-forming may give better benefits and at least that is router end only so doesn't require anything from the connected equipment or any user interaction.

Really? With most users not being technical I can only assume they read about it on a popular site but most tend to not want to play with things they don't really understand, especially techy stuff. Can see how that is a support nightmare though. The sooner everything auto switches the better.
