Oddly, PG&E charged me $0 to upgrade my service drop from 100A to 200A. I was pretty surprised.

Did they actually change the feeder upstream of the wires that you own? The sizing of those isn't regulated by the NEC the way your wires are, and in my experience POCOs don't really care how much your lights dim when a motor kicks on.

Yeah. Completely new feeder. From what I saw it wasn't a ton of work, maybe a few hours, but hours nonetheless.

Because you want to use more electricity at minimal cost to them.
