It breaks the flow, though, to switch between devices. I imagine that one problem a lot of people new to "serious" cameras have is the idea that taking the photo and postprocessing it should happen at different times. If you use a hotspot, the phone can stay in your pocket and you don't need to even think about it; and if you don't, you could probably set the camera up to edit images and mark them for uploading when the camera next has connectivity.
(I do tend to have my phone switched off and packed away in the wilderness, so as not to flatten the battery when there's no signal anyway, so in those circumstances the phone isn't really available. Of course, this particular camera isn't one many people would choose for those subjects, nor one I would use.)
Another problem with the traditional camera makers' idea of how to do this, namely having the camera talk to an installed app on the phone, is that it probably talks a proprietary protocol and you are at the mercy of the camera maker to keep the app updated for new OS releases on the phone. I don't know how well they've done there, but I wouldn't be surprised if there are already cameras where the app no longer works on current iPhones because it was 32 bit.
With this camera you're dependant on Adobe keeping the supplied apps compatible with the protocol their cloud service talks and with the upload procedures on the supported social media sites.
