My Android phone running wireguard VPN threats it as a metered connection
and does not do anything it should do on Wi-Fi only

What I found is this discussion
https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/114309459
I've looked thru the GitHub mirror code and found no evidance of
setUnderlyingNetworks called in WireGuard client code.

As seen in the issue tracker link above, it's needed in order to take
advantage of this (
https://developer.android.com/about/versions/pie/android-9.0-changes-all#network-capabilities-vpn)
behavior change. As described in the issue tracker link, this prevents Pie
devices from properly using unmetered WiFi networks.
