I think this is only true for mobile devices? I'm curious how one would configure Linux to randomize MAC addresses by default.

macOS rotates MAC addresses between networks by default, and between connections to the same network unless it's password-protected. (It's under System Settings -> "Details..." or three-dot menu by a network -> "Private Wi-Fi address.")

Windows also randomizes by default as long as your network controller supports it.

It sounds like Linux requires some textual configuration that depends on your distro.

In Linux changing the MAC address can be done simply on the command line, so I'd probably just write this functionality into a bash script that I'd call before ifup.
