Frankly no idea what are you talking about. Beamforming is enabled if n+ has 2 antennas you want it or not.
250/400 means you have extreme interference or density anyway. Btw no such exact ac or ax rate as you mention.

What I mean is that under identical test conditions with the same level of interference and negotiated link speeds, the actual downlink speed of the OpenWrt firmware is half that of the official router firmware (provided by Xiaomi). This suggests that there may be some features that are not enabled in the OpenWrt firmware. If beamforming is indeed enabled, then what other factors could be causing this discrepancy?

It is up to you to describe a bug, like in beamforming case you caught router red handed not beamfirming using advanced antenna array.
Probably some noise thresholds disable more sub bands in openwrt.

Except for these, I have no idea how to offer more useful information. I don't know how to get information about antennas, especially those related to beamforming.

You can auto-select better channel where you will get more useful bandwidth. Or manually (like in excel) parse radio survey reports and manually choose best channel.

"I tested under the exactly same noisy environment, and found that no matter how the channel was selected, the network speed performance varied greatly. I repeatedly compared the source code structure of mt76 driver and mtk closed-source driver, and found two issues: 1. There is no beamforming-related code in mt76's code about mt7622. 2. mt76 also lacks codes related to Power Amplifier (PA) and Low Noise Amplifier (LNA), which are present in the closed-source driver and play a crucial role in hardware noise immunity."

You cannot deduct absent beamforming while seeing full link speed. You are unlikely to connect to 10dbm weaker ap in absence of amps. Stop posting random forum facts.

"I'm not a professional, just a network engineer. I don't have much knowledge about hardware, and these 'facts' are just my guesses. But it's undeniable that, based on the evidence, the performance of the mt76 driver is significantly worse than the mtk closed-source driver in the same environment. I'm not sure what kind of information would be helpful, but I sincerely hope that mt76 can improve their wireless performance."

It is called airtime fairness, in busy area transmit less timeslots. You should not disable it as it will cause suffering for everybody in proximity. Likely vendor firmware has it disabled or different parameters, and it breaks nearby networks while you get better rates near your router as long as its signal is >>20dbm above others.

The chance is low since devs moved on to Wi-Fi 6/7 chips.

I am conducting the test right next to the router, and there's only one device connected during the test, yet the throughput is still very low, only half of what the closed-source driver achieves. It appears that the issue is not with signal strength, nor is it due to airtime fairness.

Wmm/qos dictates that on N+ , openwrt uses supposedly standard qos map from hostapd.
there is nothing to fix in the driver. Advertised numbers work in green fields only.
