...many people don't realize the difference.
Foods/condiments can be spicy without being overbearingly hot. In the true definition of the term, spicy is meant to indicate intense flavor--not necessarily heat. Heat can be a component of spicy, but it not the only factor in making something spicy.
Hot, OTOH, indicates heat--often with lack of flavor. Even if there is supposed to be flavor, the heat overwhelms it as your entire mouth and face go numb. Some of the current "hot sauce" offerings are capable of hospitalizing people--ridiculous.
But many/most people use the terms interchangeably, or assume that spicy means hot.

Try some frozen foods from India.
Trader joes has them.
Very spicy with sometimes just a touch of heat when necessary for taste. Those India chefs must be genius.
Habanero it at the top of my heat scale and is often used to excess. I vote spicy.
So true .
Seems though that ' spicy ' is " hot " in todays language .....
' Rich flavored ' or " savory " might be better .... but not used ...
