You can use Apple's feedback link: Feedback - iPhone - Apple


Do note however, that since iOS updates are extremely large, several gigabytes in size, unless you have unlimited data on your cellular plan, it can be a very expensive proposition to update over cellular. And many people would just eat through their plans unknowingly if that was allowed.


Also, Wi-Fi is ubiquitous enough that it should not be difficult to find a wifi network you can use to update. A coffee shop, a restaurant, your office etc...
