Zero US guys ran 1:46.5 last indoor season
One US guy ran sub 1:44.0 last outdoor season
Indoor standard is not "much" easier than outdoor standard.
Zero guys had any incentive to run 1:46.5 last indoor season
They will shoot for 3 heats of 6

Does anyone know why the entry standards are so tough for the world indoors?
Look at the men's 800m, 1:46 was the qualifying for WC in Beijing - now 1:44.00 for the indoors? There will be hardly any athletes!

i changed the entry times on there, Wikipedia is not a valid source.

Yes. The listed standards are very tough.
It doesn't say, but they must go down the list and let others in to fill the fields.
Better that than having too many qualified and have additional heats.
Sowinski gets in as a field filler
