Three reasons for me:

* It disconnects more than once per day, requiring me to enable the wifi hotspot again on the phone

* The phone gets very hot

* It is slower than usb tethering: In my measurements, I get about 4MByte/s over USB and around 2MByte/s with wifi, though I'm not too confident in the results. According to the mobile provider, I should get 10.

EDIT: A fourth one is that the wifi hotspot leaks my first name and phone brand to everyone in the vicinity.

For the fourth point, the network uses the phone’s name set in General->About->Name, which can be anything you want. But your phone brand would probably still be leaked to those who might care by looking at the BSSID of the network (does iOS 14’s MAC address randomization affect those as well?).

That worked, thank you!
