My hunch was that it originated well before iOS, and could be traced back to forking KHTML, but if that hunch was right I can’t find any way to validate it.

Agreed. Some of the domains there were popular 10-15 years ago, but are now relatively obscure. Meanwhile, high traffic domains that have emerged over the past few years are missing. Compare "pricerunner.com" and "tiktok.com" for example.

The list was at least updated after iOS:

I've found wiibrew.org and hackmii.com in there which are both Wii homebrew sites that became popular around 2008/2009 and probably declined in popularity starting in ~2012/2013.

Then there's also wiiu-developers.nintendo.com and wiiudaily.com which probably didn't exist before late 2012 or early 2013 when the WiiU was released.
