In fact, hams are secondary users of both those bands to Part 18 (microwave oven's and ISM). Just as Part 15 users are secondary to Part 18 and Part 97. This has been the case for many decades. BTW, there is no such thing as an "exclusive' ham band. All of them are shared and on every single one Part 15 operation is allowed.
