When turned off using control center. You can still completely disable it within settings. (https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208086)

When you "turn off" WiFi or Bluetooth via the control center you're simply disconnecting from any remote devices. To actually turn the radio off you need to go into the WiFi or Bluetooth settings – this lasts until you turn the radios back on.

Annoyingly, I've found that it doesn't even disconnect from all currently-connected devices. For example, my AirPods are often hijacked by my iPad when I'm setting it up for my kids to watch something. To pre-empt this, I will turn off BT via Control Center, but even having done that, the AirPods often switch over. Super annoying.

On Mac there is a "control center" that is not the system's settings? What is it for?

Fast access to frequently used controls from across the system in one “pane of glass”.

Once you understand that the control center changes are temporary, it’s not proven to be an issue. It’s meant I have not accidentally left Wi-Fi disabled for weeks at a time as I forget I made the change once due to a bad router.
