same reason why people seed torrent?

Notably, no-one seeds torrents from their mobile connections. The cost would be prohibitive, without even getting into the issue of storage.

The idea is that companies or people backing the content could easily provision more nodes to meet the demand. To create an IPFS "host", its super simple:

ipfs pin myhash

cost is prohibitive today, not necessarily tomorrow or work only when you are using wifi . storage can be capped.
