Oh, I agree… but at same time no one wants to have a desktop NAS solution turn your home office into a room that sounds like a server room, either…

Don't know which NAS units you are referring to. Mine are silent other than the disk sounds you would get from any external HD. SSD's aren't practical for most people in NAS units when you have 10's of TB of data.

I thought US has unmetered plans for cheap prices ,

Unfortunately the opposite is the case, both in prices and in data limits.

It depends on where one lives in the US.

Some homes have access to multiple ISPs, usually meaning that there is no data cap and very competitive pricing.

Some homes have access to only one ISP, and if it is cable, it could mean that there is a data cap, and pricing could be higher than the places that have multiple ISPs.

I personally think data caps on home internet service should be illegal.

I heard that data caps is a lie by ISPs used to charge more money. The networks can handle infinite bandwidth no issues. Not sure much true this is but when I think of Netflix, Spotify, Steam, that give you infinite downloads for a basic price of $10 or $20 this makes me believe this is true.
