How is it legal for a phone manufacturer, not your cellular service provider, to log this kind of information on consumers without them knowing?

Phone metadata is basically everything you think of as “phone records” from watching detective procedurals on TV. It’s a record of what numbers you called (or that called you), when, from where (for mobile phones), and for how long.
