ELI5 - Why do ISP's broadband plans always give much lower upload than download speeds?

I have cable at home with 100mbs down/2mbs up. At work i have 25/25 and it seems much faster. Why dont up and down speeds get matched in plans?

Imagine driving a car downloading is going forward and uploading is reverse.  You don't reverse often and most people don't care how fast you go in it.  So you prioritize going forward and over time this causes this huge difference.
