What this will do is allow apple to decide what goes in and out of the machine.

It's pretty clear what they think - they allow basically any app to access the network on ios.

Local network access is a separate permission since iOS 14. I’m not sure whether that is for scanning or multicast only (e.g. finding devices such as Chromecast) or complete access to anything other that the gateway and dns servers.
