Why is it getting expensive when using the phone as a hotspot, but not when using the iPad or MacBook directly with cellular data?

I think some (most?) carriers in the US charge for hotspot traffic separately from direct access from the phone (by looking at packet's TTL, it's lower by 1)

Even in that case, there are tethering apps that can bypass this issue.
