I looked into doing just that. At least with my phone, a 2022 Moto Edge, the share network presents itself as a wireless dongle. Forget the ID but it was barely supported in Linux and unsupported in the BSD's. I was hoping it would present as an Ethernet dongle. Perhaps other phone models do, with a supported ID.
The problem with WiFi adapters is the radio, namely turning it on and off. Also need a software stack to handle authorization etc. Unluckily there is no standard when it comes to the radio's so every WiFi adapter needs its own code for enabling the radio.
As for Arca Noae, I'd guess they just don't have the resources to do this stuff. I can't imagine that they're getting rich doing this. After overhead, paying IBM their share and such, there likely isn't that much profit in a license sale and it's hard to imagine that they're selling that many licenses.
Plus we're getting left behind in this 64bit universe. I personally think it is pretty amazing how far AOS has come.
