How do you think this works on microkernels? Do they have no support for multiple applications using the network?

If they don’t have TCP in them, yes. Either each application would need its own IP or another application would be responsible for being the TCP port router.
That is not at all a problem. On a microkernel you just have a userspace TCP/network server that your other programs talk to that manages/multiplexes the shared network connection.
