Hotspot disable does not work on child's iPhone!

This article states that I can disable child's control of hotspot: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/252135013

This is not true!

I have Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > Cellular Data Changes set to Don't Allow

But I can enable / disable hotpot on the child device at will.

What am I missing?

iOS versions: 14.4

How do I block hotspot on iphone? I have already tried the following suggestion: You are able to disable the wireless hotspot usage with the parental controls. Go to Settings > Cellular, and make sure that the hotspot is disabled. Then go to Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions, and enter your passcode if prompted. Scroll down to Cellular Data Changes, and switch that to Don't Allow. The problem I have with this is my child can go into their settings> Cellular, and hotspot and abled. I don't want to block the settings feature on the phone to turn bluetooth on or off, as an example. Please help!
