    The hardware isn’t restricted, anymore at least. It’s usually restricted at the network level. The hotspot uses a different connection. I’ve been on plans where I can use hotspot, but it just redirects all traffic to a page telling me it’s not on my plan, or like on Visible where hotspot traffic is throttled to 5mbps. This also causes hotspot traffic not to go through a VPN if you tried.

    Edit: if you’re rooted you can bypass this with VPN Hotspot which lets you pass your hotspot through whatever VPN is active
