Nope. Apple can't permit you to update your phone without Wifi. The Cellular Providers won't permit using that much data for updates. Apple really has nothing to do with it.

If you can't get a good Wifi connection, you can update your iPhone using your home computer with iTunes or Finder if you have Mac Catalina.

It appears you are using a Hot Spot as opposed to a direct Wifi connection. Connect to Wifi directly and see if you can complete the download.
