Yes, this is not what FCC means by interference, and no Part 15 regulation is violated here. But there's no need to downvote. If we review the terms of Part 15,
> (1) This device may not cause harmful interference
> (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
You'll see it's actually a general, universal principle of good communication, and applies to many cases other than RF spectrum. Internet pioneer Jon Postel once said TCP implementations should follow a general principle of robustness:
> (1) Be conservative in what you send
> (2) Be liberal in what you accept.
It's almost identical to the principles of Part 15.
A few years ago, when the Mirai botnet launched its massive DDoS attack, a HN user used Part 15 as an analogy of the future directions of IoT's security model. And in this example of protocol conflict between Pokemon and Roku, it also applies.
