Did they ever support this? They don't have built in Bluetooth, and I think they only talk NFS and Samba(?) for audio servers.

The other integrations over UPnP/SOAP (IIRC) are for sending it audio URLs or instructions to play Spotify, Google Play, etc.

Some of these pieces might have been pulled out with recent API updates?

I don't have firm details, only forum hearsay, and I'd love to find out what's actually going on with Sonos' APIs.

Yes, they did support it until very recently.

Sounds like an iOS specific limitation? I have a mix of gen1 hardware as well as some newer stuff. Playing from Android phones still works fine even on the old hardware, though I primarily stream from Spotify or from a local Plex server

Yes, you could stream from the app to their speakers over wifi. I used it regularly.
