> Internet tethering is actually one that's gone backwards, with "unlimited" cellphone plans that are limited when tethering. Or plans that disable tethering even though all the software is there.
The internet tethering limits are in the contract though. Surely the primary goal for jailbreaking isn't just theft of service?
> The other thing from a jailbreak would be for it to become self hosting, that is, give the ability to make full blown iPhone ipa on an iOS device without needing a macOS device anywhere at all.
You can create full-fledged local apps, or publish them for free or sale in the App Store using Playgrounds on an iPad.
The primary limitations are in things like typing speed and screen real estate as well as UX complexity and side-by-side debugging, none of which directly change with an active jailbreak.

I don't recognize that 10 GiB downloaded via my phone, or via my laptop connected to my phone as different, no matter what the contract says.

I said iOS not iPadOS, but that's good to know.
