It’s simply far more useful to dedicate more bandwidth for download than upload. It’s the vast majority of traffic, so dedicating anything but a small portion to upload doesn’t make sense.

Some isp’s with excess bandwidth can afford to have more generous upload allocations, but it’s not the most cost efficient use of their pipelines.
