Syncing Audiobooks from MacBook to iPhone XR

I have a few audiobooks in the Books app on my MacBook and it is not syncing with my iPhone. I made a list and placed a few audiobooks but only 3 appear on my iPhone when I have 11 audiobooks on the MacBook list.

Why am I not allowed to move my purchased audiobooks from my iPhone and onto my MacBook? I paid maybe 150 dollars total for some audio books that are installed on my iPhone. Is it possible to move my audiobook from iPhone -> to -> Macbook? It looks like you can sync from macbook to iPhone, but not the other way. Please give me a solution. The only way I can get my audio books to play on my mac is by using bluetooth. This is not sufficient! Mostly because bluetooth refuses to turn on for what ever reason. If it is not possible, please tell me why.

How to sync audio books to iPhone? I have some audio books on my iPhone from a while back. I added a new audio book to Books on my desktop. I expected it to show up on my iPhone, since I sync books over icloud. The new book didn't show up. In the end, I connected my phone with a usb cable to my desktop, and discovered that the only thing I apparently have ever synced in the recent past using this approach were (wait for it) Audiobooks! Apparently it has been a while. Technically my audio book was a spoken word mp3 which I wanted to listen to like an audio book since I wanted the +/- 10 seconds feature that is not there in the music player app. Is syncing over the cable really the only way for audio books to get on my phone?
