It’s not necessary for CarPlay or Android
The WiFi antenna hardware that powers the hotspot is needed for CarPlay and Android Auto. So if you skip the hotspot it is important to make sure that CarPlay is explicitly included as in cases without it users have learned this antenna is left out at the factory.

In the US WiFi Hotspot, CarPlay, & Android Auto is standard, but this isn't the case worldwide.
