Difference between downloading on public wifi and mobile hotspot? (midwest.social)

Not sure if I used the correct terms but what is the difference in security and privacy between downloading from a public wifi (or a closed wifi; with password) and mobile hotspot (sharing 4G/5G data from your phone to your computer)? Which one is recommended or does it not matter?

Thanks ! That's exactly how I think it could be implemented but that confirms that this is certainly not something you can find commonly where I live.

That confirms the fact that if you use the same wifi and everyone has entered the same encryption key then there is no real client isolation...

It's cool that wifi keeps evolving. It comes a long way from the WEP beginnings.
