The reason is that \tableofcontents  starts a new chapter,
and the footer style for the 1st page of a chapter is different
to that of later pages.

Having \thispagestyle{empty}  coming after  \tableofcontents
is useless, as the first page of a multi-page ToC has appeared
well before that command is encountered.

Having \thispagestyle{empty}  coming before  \tableofcontents
is equally useless, as the internal \chapter command
changes the pagestyle anyway.


Here is one way to suppress the pagenumber,
at the end (backmatter part) of your document:


\backmatter
\let\plainefootc\relax  % on an even page
\let\plainofootc\relax  % on an odd page
\tableofcontents*
