For instance, LinkedIn loads google's STUN on the login page. I understand the need for STUN for sites like google meet or zoom, but some sites clearly don't necessarily need it.

It’s probably being employed to detect bots, scrapers, and users behind VPNs.

LinkedIn has real-time p2pfeatures and they use webrtc for that.
