It's MacOS, or at least I know MacOS does that.
One solution would be to run a local DNS service like Cloudflare DNS-over-HTTPS proxy and then enter ::1 (IPv6 loopback) as your DNS. I bet that would work, but I haven't tried it. It also improves privacy and security on untrusted networks. Not sure how it handles the captive portal problem though. Maybe Cloudflare's service has a shim for that.
MacOS used to do the simple thing, but at some point in a recent release they started being "smart" and added this annoying restriction.
