I think you’re misunderstanding it. Most mobile apps have sensible defaults regarding data and battery usage, for instance, not updating (their feeds/server status/whatever networked service the app uses) if not in WiFi.
No, I think they understood. Android needs those settings because the process is automated. A Linux device would probably not automate updates like that and let users choose when to do so, which means they can just not do it until they get to WiFi.
Most Linux software only updates when the user tells the package manager to update it.>

Package manager update >< background information update
Unless your chat app requires a package manager update to retrieve new messages, we’re talking different things.
