FCC power limits are generally to prevent spectrum corruption, like they don’t want your radio to overpower everyone else. So yes, more power is generally better for the signal but it’s a shared pool of limited spectrum so your use can hurt other people.
No this is for everything including personal devices. It’s very simple to just say it’s like everyone listening to their phone on speakerphone and the louder it is and the closer you are the more distracting it is to you. Everyone can use it but the more crowded it is the more problems you have. If everyone uses it responsibly then everyone can use it and it’s fine. That’s why the FCC sets power limits because otherwise you could jack up the signal with a ton of power and no one else can hear anything. For signals it is only the same frequency that interferes with each other but all the space comsats use the same popular KU band so they have to share nicely.

So is it like there being multiple stores, but one company pays to have the highway lead to their store quicker?
