I just don't get it. Why not making upload speed same as download speed?

the most simple explanation is that total bandwidth is limited and more upload speed they give you the less download speed.

What about full duplex links?

You can still spend more of the links on download if you wanted to

Because regular users need more download than upload, while servers need more upload than download.
