Very cool! I feel like the behavior that'd match iOS is the developer switch variant, no?

Still happy to be corrected. :)

No. It matches iOS without the developer switch. iOS never use randomized MAC address when joining network.

Using randomized MAC address per SSID may break some well-established authentication scheme base on client MAC address. And it is not marginally stronger than only randomize when scanning, because the randomized MAC address is pinned to ESSID instead of BSSID.
