Correct. Ham radio can not be used for any commercial purpose. WISP-type operation for money is not legal. A ham radio club could operate an Internet-connected access point for their own use (like for emergency communications, experimentation, etc.) but the access point and each end-point (CPE) would need to be under the control of a licensed amateur radio operator.

Aside the moral issue with that, is it not 'no commercial
transactions' when operating under ham rules?

Yes; a very dirty and disreputable way. Any ham who tries this should
remember that "What goes around comes around".

For those WISPs who are licensed hams, that certainly suggests a unique way
to get rid of your competitors who aren't :-)

HAMs have a secondary license (Lower than Licensed, but higher than
unlicensed). HAMs can use 2390MHz-2450MHz and put out a max EIRP of
1.5kW, but in that RF range (2.4GHz) that is called a "microwave
oven".  HAMs can also use 5650MHz-5925MHz.

It's not a secondary license but a secondary allocation. We are still
licensed. As I mentioned previously, spread spectrum emission types are
not allow that much "boost" but other emission types are.
