I’m on my iPhone 13 Pro Max. Here is a photo I just took. In Edit mode, I selected the pen point icon and the tools below appear. The eraser head does nada.

We had these tools for a short time on the iPhone and iPad, a long ime ago, when Apple released iPhoto iOS - I purchased my first iPad just because of iPhoto iOS. Just with a touch of our fingers or the light pen I could retouch objects or dodge and burn certain areas. Apple has shown they can do it. But the upgrade to iOS 8 killed iPhoto on the iPhone and iPad, and since then I am mainly using it as a book reader or for viewing photos, bur no longer for editing photos.
