Kypaon's post in Macbook is somehow accessing files despite syslogs showing "Access Denied" was marked as the answerResolved my own question. Putting the answer here in case someone else encounters the same issue.
Security for the share was set to "Secure" which despite the name actually enables read-only access to anyone on the network... Updating to Private resolved the issue. I would argue that "Secure" is a poor word choice and an even poorer default option for a share. I'd also argue having the option names be "Public R/W", "Public RO", and "Private" would have been more intuitive.
Also the reason the Mac was able to auto detect the drive was because Export was set to Yes.
I'm still a bit confused why Android and Windows didn't mount the folder as read-only the same way the Macbook.
