I connected my phone to tether internet since the power was out but the cell network was still going.

iPhones can tether via a wifi connection, so that’s not necessary. Does drain the battery a bit faster, though.

Most desktops don't have WiFi cards + it does add more latency to WiFi hotspot. Say your internet died at home and you still want to play games or work in vdi

iPhone can share it over Bluetooth too, if it helps.
