I'll let Dan Walsh explain it https://www.redhat.com/sysadmin/rootless-podman-nfs

In short, you don't remap when running as root in the container, thus no uid/gid remapping.

I had a derp-out moment yesterday, I totally misinterpreted “as root in the container”. The topic was about rootless containers, so I was completely mentally blacklisting the idea of starting a container from the root user account.
