These "good" devices that only report AWUPF, is there some set of
characteristics that generally applies to all of them? I tried to list
out conditions for when I think the value could be counted on here:

I just don't know if you know of any devices where that criteria doesn't
git. If not, maybe we can work with that without introducing more user
knobs.
