I don't think this limitation is exclusive to Apple though.

As far as I know, there is no way to edit a hosts file on Android either. Is there?

You can do it on a GNU/Linux phone though (sent from my Librem 5).

Well... not directly without root, but you can host a DNS Server on Android and use it if you wanted to
