Rogue APs are generally defined as APs that you don't manage but have been connected to your wired network. Obviously this could be a significant security risk. I don't think they're sending deauth messages to every client/AP they see.

It looks like it allows you to mark any AP as "rogue" even if they're not detected as "on-wire" despite that not being the purpose of the feature.

I would define "rogue" as any AP intentionally using the SSID of my network to trick users into connecting to it instead of my own infrastructure.
