it appears that in the protocol handshake, the AP (fritzbox) is declaring to not require protected management frames. which is sort of true, it doesn't require it in WPA2 mode. However by specification WPA3 is always with PMF enabled, and it appears wpa_supplicant would have to ignore the AP advice and connect in SAE mode with PMF enabled.

pmf=2 forces PMF even if the AP says it doesn't require it.
