Apple also list the ports they commonly use:

Sure - things like SSH or HTTP use ports below 1024 - so what? That does
not mean you can install and run an *APP* on iOS which does this.

And yet, one clearly CAN do that on iOS.

Don't take my word for it: download "LAN drive SAMBA Server Client" from
the iOS App Store and try it for yourself!

 This is a *CLIENT* and NOT A SERVER!

No. It is quite clearly a server.
As I am able to connect to my iPhone from my Windows machine and see files that are ON MY iPHONE!

 We talk about SERVERS! Which means apps which open ports below 1024 for
INCOMING CONNECTIONS!

And this does that.
Grow up.
