Because it would take 99% of customers out of STM altogether and would function as a stronger upsell to higher tiers as opposed to the current scheme which potentially punishes those on XL who may use 10GB a month if they use it at the wrong time while allowing someone on 10Mbit for example to use a TB a month. Unsure what you do with your service but personally I don't get near 250GB so would never see 5GB let alone 'most of the time'.
The whole smart limiting thing is as done by Comcast and as I said before will require some investment in equipment which VM may potentially be reluctant to do, given that their investment tends to be minimal generally.
Comcast it should be noted also have a 250GB/month cap. The fallout has actually been pretty negligible after they introduced it.
