I would understand if they offer this as a service we can enable to lower how much data we use, but making it mandatory is weird.

You can go eat at an all-you-can-eat buffet, but they don't let you bring a wheelbarrow with Sure, but with data caps, why do they care how I use my data? If I want to use more by using my laptop, what difference does it make to them?
