They probably anticipated it would have the same proportionate increase as similar upgrades to downstream speeds.
Wrong, obviously, as most upstream usage is still P2P, so will fill whatever pipes they provide. With some exceptions most people don't make attempts to saturate their downstreams 24x7 because they can as they only grab stuff they can use, while serving a popular torrent will happily unattended fill the upstream 24x7.
