I don’t use hotspot on my phone on a daily basis, I use it if I’m out in the field somewhere and my work laptop needs Wi-Fi and then the hotspot feature turns itself off automatically when my laptop is no longer connected to my phone for a period of time.
I’ll occasionally use hotspot for my Wi-Fi only personal tablet as well while I’m traveling. But that’s about the extent of my use for it.
Same for me but one other use I’ve found is to allow ancient devices to connect to the internet, such as an old gaming console or laptop that can’t be updated to meet modern specs, usually my phone is like, “sure, no problem, outdated and unsecured device, I’m happy to share my secrets with you.”
