Totally useless for 99.999% of users (not even exaggerating). Would be nice to have the option though but would mostly just confuse users with was would appear to most to be a totally useless option.

It is useful for LAN games so not 99.999% but more like 90%

So is ADB, and Bluetooth tethering, and wired Ethernet, and OTG,…

This can be solved with a warning like “You are not connected to the internet, hotspot will only allow access within local network.”
