You’re not wrong, in mfg and similar I’ve personally only ever seen wireless anything used for measurement instrumentation, explicitly not control, and that was even using a more proprietary wireless than 802.11 / typical WLAN.
I’ve been out of those industries for a while and to be fair the ones I serviced were on the more expensive process side (which does translate to better equipment but even just better safety expectations), so idk how accurate my experiences are. But yeah wireless control was def considered unacceptably risky, your instincts are correct.
