The problem with this, at least for me, is that hotspot is not always consistent. It almost always "works," but it takes multiple attempts to hook them together. A cellular plan is so much more frictionless.
Not true for me. My M4 iPad automatically switches, without fail, to my 15 ProMax hotspot if it does not have a WiFi signal. Completely transparent to me.

Mine will do the same but I found out the hard way. The iPad did this and I didn't notice and when I got home it stayed on the hotspot, not switching to WiFi. Since I use the iPad a lot for streaming, etc., it rapidly burned through the high-speed data limit on my phone's plan.
