Because on iOS side without this variable release builds is not rendered by hermes.

Nope you should not be needing to add export USE_HERMES=true to your .xcode.env file. I think there is something going on in your setup.

I think there is fuzzy situation, when I add hermes_enable value to Podfile I expected to release build would have been byte coded version as same as android without installing pods with USE_HERMES=1 which is not seems on documantation also.

I'm not quite sure but there is fuzy situation which is not explained on this type. We need to add this USE_HERMES=1 bundle exec pod install or mine idk

Hermes is the default engine. If you don't specify anything, that would be used by default.

I think that your setup has some issue and that's not the base situation for all our users, so we should not add this into the documentation
