Why are ASP.net hosts so tight with disk space?

Maybe I'm overgeneralizing--and correct me if I am--but why does it seem
that ASP.net web hosts are so tight when it comes to disk storage space?

I'm OK paying more for ASP.net hosting, as I understand the costs involved
over LAMP hosting, but isn't a hard drive a hard drive? I'm currently with
boundgrid and they made a big deal when they upped their reselling accounts
from 3 gigs of storage to 6 gigs. Woo. hoo.

Meanwhile--typically for half the price (or even a 4th of the price, at
times...)--I can find LAMP hosting that gives me 200gigs of storage space.
Why is there such a discrepancy with disk space?

I have an account with gate.com that gives me around 200 gb of
storage, but only 100 mb for SQL Server. I'd trade off most of the
general space to be able to devote more to the db, but no go.
