Some of the updates can't be installed via cellular for some reason.

  Can you link to any proof of that? I haven't seen it.

    I just had to connect to wifi for the update to start, the button was greyed out. If you don't trust me on this, I can send you a screenshot when this happens.

      Do you have the "Allow More Data on 5G" option selected? iOS updates will not be allowed otherwise.

        That’s the point.

          What's the point? The post I replied to used the word "impossible" and I pointed out that it's absolutely not impossible.

        Wait a second, yesterday I misread your comment, is this only available on 5G and not below? What is the reasoning for gating it to newer phones and countries that have that infrastructure, considering my pixel has no issues updating over 4G?

          Apple has an agreement with the carriers to not allow iOS updates over pre-5G networks. Carriers used to be able to (possibly still can?) disable things like FaceTime over cellular too.

            What a shitty thing to do, but thanks for the info.
