All laws are trade-offs especially no wake zones. You have to trade off the rights of a boater to travel and operate his vessel safely, the rights of other boaters not to be endangered and the rights of property owners to not have their property damaged.
Maybe 6 MPH is too fast, but that's the trade off we have. With planning boats the wake goes up pretty quickly with speed until they plane. I know the difference between 6 MPH and 12 MPH on my boat is incredible.
It doesn't help with respect for NWZ, that some of them seem political rather than safety motivated.
