It’s not really “rigged”. Most people don’t have any use for that much outgoing bandwidth because they’re not uploading that much data. They’re usually downloading a lot more, though, so it makes sense to prioritize the bandwidth based on how people will actually use it. It’s more than sufficient for HD video calls, which is probably the most upload-intensive task your average user is going to conduct. Giving your entire neighborhood gigabit upload speeds is a waste of resources, unless your entire neighborhood is running media servers from home.
You’re still getting the bandwidth you’re paying for, it’s just not balanced in a way that suits your fringe use-case. Your ISP very likely has options that rebalance that bandwidth prioritization if you actually need and will use more upload bandwidth, but those are typically going to be business accounts.
Also not sure what this has to do with the Fediverse.
You know you can get 100/100 speeds right? But it will cost more obviously. That’s why people who don’t upload stuff get 100/10. It matches their needs just as well and is cheaper.

Upload = decentralisation (federation)
What exactly are you wanting to host at home that you need super fast upload speeds, and how much traffic are you even expecting to see?
Video

Just ask your ISP for more upload speed (and pay for it). It’s a thing you can do.
