High concentration of technically inept users with hardware that no longer receives security updates and has plenty of well known easily exploitable vulnerabilities. Which naturally is used to run banking apps and travels with users close to 24/7 while tracking their location.

From a business perspective you'd want to charge extra. Just because you can, but also because you want to discourage excess bandwidth use. The internet APs the carriers sell get deprioritized relative to phones when necessary and the fine print generally forbids hosting any services (in noticeably stronger language than the wired ISPs I've had).

Isn't that already the case with limited plans?

For example, mine has 40 GBs and I'm pretty sure it counts both upload and download, because I generally consume very little, except for one week when I was on holiday with no other internet access and wanted to upload my pictures to my home server and didn't otherwise use the phone more than usual.
