I am sure it is similar with other companies but pricing might be different....
It is more of a convenience. Primary reason being, Phone getting hot while running GPS/maps (through CarPlay), in a call and sharing data with others at the same time.

$20 unlimited data, my kids use this to watch movies during travel and connected dash cam. Also, I have my mobile connect to this hot spot while driving so that this data is used
