Your phone is more than just a communication tool; it’s a powerful tracking device, and the SIM card inside is a key reason why. I don’t actually have a SIM ...
Very interesting video about the tracking of cellular networks.
But she explains why that is different in the video.
The idea is the hotspot is an entirely separate device, that just provides Internet access/VPN access. Your not logging in to your VoIP provider or your messaging applications using that hotspot. You can also purchase the device and service anonymously making it much harder to connect to your identity to the hotspot.
This separates the baseband processor from our sensitive data that is stored on our phone.
This also forces your phone to actually use the VPN. (There has been reports that Apple and Google bypass the VPN in some cases if you use a VPN on your phone.)
She puts a sim card in another phone that’s used as a hotspot. The title suggests she doesn’t use a sim.

Not arguing against the logic but it very much is a disappointing click bait
