It may be true that we are lucky but it still does not change the fact that if you paid for 10Gb/ month and actually used all 10 Gb then you provider said "hey you use it too much... the average user of that plan is much less" then you would feel cheated. Are we fortunate, yes, does that give the providers the right to lie, no
