My recollection is the first time I used Sign In With Apple it forced me to choose (no default), and after that it defaulted to my last choice.

I expect 99% are obfuscating because that’s the sensible choice to make. Giving an app my real email should only be done if there’s an explicit need for this, such as being able to log in from non-Apple devices.

You make a good point, and in general I agree, but it introduces additional headaches if I think about logging in from a non-Apple device later.

You actually can support Sign In With Apple from arbitrary platforms, using the JS API.

https://developer.apple.com/documentation/sign_in_with_apple...

This is obviously the most useful for websites, but Apple’s developer site links to this with the descriptor “for web and apps on other platforms” so clearly they’re ok with Android apps using it too.
