Probably because it only binds to the port internally, not on the network. That would normally happen.
Homestead has a feature to share tho; https://laravel.com/docs/11.x/homestead#sharing-your-environment

Well yeah, through a temporary tunnel. Giving you a random domain. AFAIK it just uses ngrok
That's not how networking works 🙂 You can listen on a port, like binding to port 8000 only on the local machine, or on the network
You could, but I'm not sure if Homestead/Vagrant provides that option
You'd probably need to use the ip config in the yaml config file, either using 0.0.0.0 or the local IP of your device

That does sound about right 👍
