I have the same problem. I think the update is being rolled out via vin. i tried modifying the file created via the usb method by changing the vin slightly, it it said update available. I couldn’t install the update that downloaded though, I guess because of said file modification.
I opened the file in a text editor and came to the same conclusion. Im glad that you tested the theory. Now I don’t have to. I would guess that rolling it out by Vin number is just a poor man’s way of load balancing so everybody doesn’t download it on the same day.
I'm in the same boat as you, still no update available to me via wireless or USB. I'm curious though, when you opened the .json file on your USB drive, does yours also identify as "Honda","model": "18 Accord Display Audio"?

The Gen3 Insight started with the same software as the 10th Gen Honda Accord per post #6 of this thread. The Accord came out first (April 2018) before the Insight (June 2018), so it seems like the naming was left as "Accord."
If they do a multi-phase roll out by VIN they can prevent a bad update from affecting everyone at once. We already have one person reporting that the update froze on the installation phase and made his infotainment system unusable. The new build has froze on me at the disclaimer warning prompt screen a few days ago when I turned on my car. Had to wait like a minute for the system to auto-reboot itself.
The 10th gen Accord and 3rd gen Insight share similar infotainment software builds. They're on 18AA-2071-001 while we're on 18AE-2071-001. The patch notes were the same for both cars.

Hi I have a 2020 Insight EX and I had an update a couple weeks ago. I live in a condo so I am parked too far for WiFi, but I have the Honda Link app on my iPhone and the update transferred from the app on my iPhone via Bluetooth. I was expecting to have to make my phone a hotspot to transfer it via WiFi but I didn’t have to. The app isn’t great it only gives me the odometer reading on my car, the range in miles in gas left on the tank and a bar display of the gas, but it’s obviously needed for software infotainment updates. My car infotainment did display there was an update available but that may have come from the iPhone app. Hope that helps!

Download the HondaLink app on your phone. I have an iPhone but I assume Android phones will work also. Add your car to app with the Vin #. Once it is connected and you can see your odometer reading, miles on your tank, etc. you should be able to load the infotainment update from your phone to your car via Bluetooth.

Any ideas .....
I am connected to my home wifi and when I try to UPDATE it states that I am currently up to date.
I am in Canada and have an 2019 EX
My only other option is to load it to a flash stick and manually load it.

Might be VIN related (sequential deployment from Honda?) or country release-date related (@kernelpaniqc in Canada also mentioned issue in post #27). If wifi option isn't working, the remaining options are USB update or HondaLink update.

They just told me it’s not available for my VIN. They couldn’t give any other specifics.

I didn't even know about this, but the notice started showing up after I had my first scheduled maintenance done at the dealer. So, apparently the car was able to hook up to their WiFi while it was getting an oil change and tire rotation. I'll have to see if I can get it to hook up to my house WiFi. I expect it to be a longshot, but can't hurt to try.
It's possible because the Insight has 2 wifi networks saved from the factory that all dealerships have broadcasting.
I got the same response.
I wonder why... Do you guys have a Honda ID with your car's VIN registered and have the HondaLink app? If not maybe that will get the VIN register with Honda's system.
