Viewing the file page itself gives a list of all the pages the file is used on. Technically this is also accessible via Special:WhatLinksHere, which does not redirect for IP users, but that page doesn't appear to be linked anywhere in the interface for an IP unless a local admin has added it to the nav themselves. (For logged-in users, it's in "My Tools" by default, but IPs don't have a "My Tools" in the bottom bar.)

Just searching for the filename via the wiki's search is not elucidating as far as I can tell (it only brought up file results even though it wasn't delimited to them, no pages with that file linked), and using What Links Here as an IP user requires that you know about that special page and type it in the address bar manually since it's not in the interface. Using "appears on these pages" on the file page does require you to see it and look at it once you get to the file page, but the learning curve to use, for an IP user, is literally just "go to the file page and actually pay attention", which is pretty easy except that IPs can't go there right now.

Saying you don't see how the "appears on these pages" section on a file could be easier than randomly traipsing around the wiki or using Special:WhatLinksHere, a page an IP is far less likely to know about IMO, seems disingenuous/naive at best.
