Updates to iPhone

Why can’t I do updates to iPhone while using the hotspot of another iPhone. I get error message that I must be connected to WiFi to download the update even though connected to internet on 2nd iPhone?

iPhone 8, iOS 14

Apple only provides you with two methods to update your iPhone:

Via a direct Wi-Fi connection that has Internet access, OR
Via a direct connection to a Mac or PC, running iTunes or Finder, and with that computer having an Internet connection.
