On other apps I can set location permission to "Allow all the time":

It results in the fact that when the application is in the background it does not scan.

The WiGLE WiFI app has a foreground service, which is why the notification is always shown why the app is running. Because it's a foreground service it doesn't need the run all the time permission, since that is only for background-only services to prevent sneaky things. Since our app is up front with the foreground service it doesn't need the run all the time permission, it still scans.
