It’d be difficult to make work reliably on iOS due to how it handles background processes. Processes can’t just hang around forever, they’re expected to quickly and efficiently finish their task and close until their next scheduled run (which is determined by the system — devs can request to run whenever they want, but processes that are badly behaved get downranked and run less often). If its task is taking too long the system unceremoniously kills the process. This is limiting and makes implementing programs like Syncthing more challenging but also helps keep the battery eaters and eternal listeners until control.
