Which begs the question why is this specific to Android? Why would Meta/Yandex not be doing this on iOS, or why did this study not report on iOS?

Doesn't iOS prompt you to give apps permission to connect to your local network? "App would like to find and connect to devices on your local network" or something along those lines. I always hit the "no thanks" button.
In this case it's the web browser connecting to the network, so the permission is irrelevant.
