Well, that’s the range of sensors which ST has.

If you don’t see anything there suitable for your (unstated) application requirements, then you’ll obviously have to look elsewhere.

 

But, as ​@TDK said, we live in a 3D world - so any real gyro can only have 3 axes

 

PS:

You can combine an LSM6DSOX + LIS3MDL to give you 9 DOF; eg,

Other sensors, of course, can be used: Basics of 6DOF and 9DOF sensor fusion

As the space we mortals inhabit is three dimensional, you will only see up to 3-axis gyroscopes here on Earth. Perhaps you are confusing this with a 9-DOF sensor.
