Does multicast have other uses outside of local network device communication? I’ve seen several apps trigger alerts that they want to access devices on the network if I grant permission and I’ve been saying no since I don’t understand why those apps would even be trying to connect to another device since they’re things like food delivery and other service related stuff.

Some major internet peering exchanges used to have multicast LANs for whatever reason. I think LINX were one of the last ones to operate one, but eventually in 2020 they removed it after they reached a point where only two ports were connected to it with no significant traffic flowing !
