Video conferencing isn't the only use for upload bandwidth. There are lots of other use-cases which are much more mainstream, like streaming, YouTube uploads, backups (lots of phones these days do photo/video backups automatically), photo sharing, etc. Downloads are still more common of course, but these days I'd say upload bandwidth gets used far more than it ever has in the past.

Every use case you’ve given are minority use cases or power users. I’d say less than 5% of subscribers do the above and most do not use a lot of upstream bandwidth. Most phones do the backups at night when most people are sleeping.
