Actually privacy relay is currently in public beta as a part of Apple iCloud subscriptions plans.

Unless I got it wrong when enabled it reroute all Apps trafic through this "limited VPN" to prevent tracking and access to local network.

Apps that require access to local network must ask that permission explicitly. Streaming service (Netflix, Disney+,etc) do that for obvious performance gain. I noticed Microsoft Teams did it also (and I just revoked that thanks to this thread, it's a work app I better keep that out of my home local network).
