My anecdotal experience (partially informed by working on the Windows Wi-Fi team) is that iOS/macOS are more aggressive about switching APs. It's a tradeoff - on one hand, you can have disruptive scans like this, but on the other, if it results in switching to a better network during a long period when the user is stationary, it can result in a better experience.

It also depends a lot on what your hardware is, whether you're doing a full scan or a partial scan, whether you have more than one NIC etc, etc.
