Or are they asking the FCC to come in and nail their butts for
marketing unapproved "Part 15" devices before the approval
criteria has been established?

An IEEE lawsuit would take months to process; the FCC can
fine them today, and force them to pay within 30 days, and the
fines for that sort of thing are in the range of 4-5 figures apiece.
