But it doesn’t include tethering/hotspot. WTF? That’s a feature of my phone, not of a fucking plan.

Why is this a thing for US phone networks?
Why do they care whether the ones and zeroes sent/received stay on the phone or not? Data is data. It shouldn’t be any more complicated than that.

Money. Simple as that.

Because it’s not illegal to bill you extra for it.

Maybe they are in bed with ISPs.

Some of them are ISPs. I’ve received mail from both Verizon and AT&T about getting a 5G Internet “connection”. It just connects to the cell towers.
Someone came by so I demoed one and it was awful. The latency was, predictably, unhinged.

Because they can. I have the same gripe.
