AP Isolate Has No Effect

I have created a WiFi hotspot using Ubuntu 20.04. Under the hood it uses
wpa_supplicant to create the AP. I'm trying to enable client isolation,
so that devices on the hotspot network cannot send packets to each
other. So once the hotspot is set up, I do the following:

#sudo wpa_cli -i wlan0

> set ap_isolate 1
OK
> get ap_isolate
1

So I see that AP isolate is enabled. However, I still can send packets
from one device to another on the hotspot network. Why is that? Am I
missing something?
