Because all wifi devices never fully disable themselves. So it just detects the SSID is in range. Or alternatively it could do so by your location (which is also wifi enhanced, hence why they don’t fully disable)
Intelligent wifi is something else i believe, and Samsung only? I’m talking about auto connect which is part of android since version 9. That said, even if you don’t have that function, that doesn’t mean its not passively scanning your wifi environment anyway.

I have android 11 and if I turn off my wifi it will stay turned off until I turn it on. And that I wouldn’t want it any other way.

Indeed, there seems to be an option called “intelligent wifi” on Android. Luckily my phone doesn’t have it.
