what makes you think it is now a draw? Obviouly played to bitter end amongs weak players it good likelihood that either player will win.
But why; it just looks that it is draw. But proof is in the pudding i.e you have work variations why neither player can hope to break trough. or just rely on ones given by stockfish

white has one more pawn, and this should be an overwhelming advantage.
as long as the rooks are traded, white will win!

Advantage one pawn doesn't always guarantee victory in endgame. If white has advantage 2 pawns (1 more pawn in e square), white can win.

Basic Theoretical Draw ... It's based on King Rook & Pawn vs King & Rook where the Defending side has good king placement later in the game as pawns are traded down . You need to look up such Endings in Videos on Training websites for endings or in a Chess book like Rook Endings by Former World Chess Champion V Smyslov & Levenfish @hydroshadow

It depends on position. Even if white has 1 pawn+ king, black king can do opposition technique if his position is good.

@ThunderClap
so when RK is defending RKP, if the position is good enough, RKP can't make progress, right?
but how can the rooks avoid being traded?

By Keeping his King on the Queening Square for the pawn the Defending side keeps the Rook on the 3ed Rank until the pawn advances there ... Then the Rook drops behing for a Series of Checks KNOWING all Rook trades ARE THEN DRAWN . It's named after the Inventor in the 1700s a frenchman named A Phillidor & is KNOWN as The Phillidor Position . There are other Rook & Pawn EEndings that end up in a Luceana Position where it's a win so Study Play Play Study & you will get there wherever there is @hydroshadow

K vs K+ pawn on the a file or the h file is more often than not, a draw if the lone king is near the corner of promotion. Set up a position and see by yourself, you will stalemate the king or be forced to give up the pawn.
And K vs K+p is also often a draw when the lone king has the oposition. Same result as above.
So just by looking the material and position alone, if you remove the rooks and the 2 central pawns on each side looks like a draw.
