my guess is that after the sonos debacle, they've got some kind of internal "lawyers gone wild" debacle unfolding where literally everything is being examined in a big giant legal audit.
i'd go on to wager that they identified some highly gymnastic exposure in some part of the world with respect to offering unfiltered public internet terminals to children, so they crammed a quickfix in under their digital wellbeing stuff and it's only supported on pixel/google devices.
just another reminder that anyone who can push updates has total control well beyond anything labeled "root" on the devices they push updates to.
