Seems it's also the case of macos' xargs (https://github.com/apple-oss-distributions/shell_cmds/blob/shell_cmds-319.0.1/xargs/xargs.c#L292) and OpenBSD's (https://github.com/openbsd/src/blob/master/usr.bin/xargs/xargs.c#L184), so we can reasonably suppose it's going to be the same on all BSDs. Neither busybox nor toybox have -L AFAICT. On AIX https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/aix/7.3?topic=x-xargs-command documents that -l implies -x. It's not clear whether that applies to -L as well.
