Radio transmitters are licensed to generate interference.  Like a cell
phone for example.

Your computer is not licensed to do so and hence must not do so.

If a device broadcasts on the wrong frequency, then it is broken and/or
violating it's license and hence illegal to use.  Stories of baby
monitors broadcasting at aircraft communications frequencies or other
important radio frequencies have certainly been claimed.  Cases of bad
design or bad QA.
