Because giving you what you need isn't the goal. Its getting you to pay more. They offer you something that doesn't cost them anything in exchange for more money. Actual value vs perceived value.

Just like TV channels. They won't let you choose and pick what you want, they'll sell you a package that you don't need for couple of channels that you want.

It's worth pointing out again that our own government (CRTC) colludes with the big telecoms to our disadvantage.
For example Canadian laws do not allow permanent roaming, so your foreign sim card/esim will stop working after a few months here in Canada. There has to be some information shared between the "notoriously competitive" Telecoms in order to disable a device across all networks, and in this case they seem rather cooperative.
