Because the MAC address isn’t a part of the tcp/ip exchange. You’re specifically addressing TCP/IP only.
If you’re trying to block something by MAC address, you’re doing it wrong.

I see. Thanks.
What other way is there if the the IP is dynamic. I thought to create a whitelist for devices I had to add the client’s MAC to the custom group. It seems to work fine so far. I was just concerned that it wouldn’t continue to work if the iPhone changed its MAC.

OK thanks. This makes sense. I guess if I’m going to go through the trouble of whitelisting the MAC, I can go and disable randomization on the device and assign it a static IP.
