Because people mostly “consume” internet content, and rarely contribute to it. Usually only small amount of upload is sufficient to send requests, messages and upload few images here and there.

Aditionally ISP’s sell that remaining upload capacity to the server farms and make an extra profit. Servers need that extra capacity since they mostly “serve” content that people consume.
