Even if it is a global setting (as floris has pointed out, iw reg lists it per phy), surely that's the common use-case? If someone really needs different regions for different radio devices (on one system!) then we could declare that "too complex, out of scope" and leave it to them to configure externally to netplan.

That's odd -- I've just tried the same on a jammy development install and it's persisting happily across reboots. I'll flash a fresh impish image and see if I can replicate (I'll file a separate bug if I can).
