Because they don't support it and never have, iphones don't store anything on the SIM card.

SIM cards have very little storage space on them.

It's also easy to pop out your SIM card, read the contact info on it.

Contacts don't take up much space, why would you need to use more than the free 5GB?

Also you can store contact information in any email providers, Google or Microsoft for example.

Mine are in Gmail, on my phone, saved in my Mac mini and in icloud.

I don't pay for extra storage through icloud.

Photos are backed up on my Mac.

Apple isn't trying to force you to buy anything.

Online storage is available from Amazon, Microsoft, Google, etc.
