why is my upload speed so much slower than my download speed

Answer:

Because most networks are asymmetric.

Explanation:

Download speeds are set to be (much) higher than upload speeds because that's what matters more. Almost everyone downloads more than they upload.

For example, my own network usage on my desktop. Looking at All Time, I have downloaded 2.50TB but only uploaded 852.49GB. I used to upload a lot of videos to platforms such as YT, which most people don't do. Even then, I still download almost 3x more than I upload. This is why the download speed is 3-4x faster than the upload speed.
