That is not true, airdrop can stay on indefinitely when set to „contacts“ which is enough for NameDrop.
Can you then share it to everyone using namedrop that's not in your contacts?
Yes exactly that’s the point.
The whole point of NameDrop is to add a new contact. So by definition it literally won’t be usable for airdrop if airdrop is set to contacts only.
Have you tried it?

Yes exactly. You don’t need to change the airdrop setting to use it.
I have. I’ve accidentally initiated NameDrop between my personal and work phones, just by having them in the same pocket. Both set to Contacts Only.
Imagine a scenario where kids put all their phones in a bad before class or something.
