They may in fact peer with your upstream. That makes their choice peer with you, or peer with your upstream. Peering with your upstream may allow them to reach many people like you for cost of managing only a single peering session, as compared to maintaining a few dozen. Also, many networks have minimum volume amounts for peering relationships. They may be able to get settlement free peering with your upstream by having some minimum traffic level that they would not have if they peer with some of the individual customers behind that upstream. Peering with you may drop them below the threshold, causing them to pay for transit on 10's of Gigs of traffic.
Lets be honest. There are a million reasons we can all come up with to try and justify something like this but 99% of the time it is just the larger isp trying to throw their weight around in the name of greed. In the end, the customers of both companies are the ones who suffer and ultimately pay (figuratively and literally) for it.
