Why can't I join a meeting on iPhone without giving Teams access to scan my local network?

Yes, local subnet is where IP address AND netmask is the same as your computer address AND netmask.
Local network, LAN is a dubious term used to reference a subnet or a collection of subnets generally considered in one location, but also behind NAT boundary. Any computer on a LAN really doesn't know that it is on a LAN.
But as was explained to you, Teams has a feature that it can communicate with other Teams devices like your desktop.
But in short, it asks for it. It needs it. And as I asked, what issues do you see with it?

"It needs it"? Sorry, but that's BS. There is no legitimate "need" there that anyone has explained so far. That "feature" (typical Microsoft) is there only to snoop around and collect data. It has no business communicating with my desktop nor with any other of my devices.
