Difference between downloading on public wifi and mobile hotspot? - eviltoast

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?

    Edit: I know, I shouldn’t give a shit. But writing a fairly long comment to share my knowledge on this only to see it immediately downvoted without any explanation kind of sucks. So I’m removing this comment and will not interact here anymore.
