On a phone connection sharing is the really the only thing you *can* do
other than connect to an AP.  And you have an app specifically for that,
and there's only one WiFi card, etc.  The environment is clearly a lot
simpler there as the hardware is constrained.

That said, there are surely things we can/should do to make sharing
simpler.
