Didn't American telecom companies try this? And then the customers eventually found it all insufferable, so the practice was canned?

That's mostly because of iOS where Apple has a complete control over. If the half of the market cannot play with those garbage, it is much harder to do that for the rest as well thanks to competition. But AFAIK, iOS has a pretty minimal presence in India so it's not going to be the same situation.
