I bought VPS and configured wg-easy, but speed for download is too slow, while speed for uploading is not so bad. Why this might be happening?

Having never used this software before, my guess would be your VPS provider is limiting the upload speed of the VPS. The data would be uploaded slowly to you, which means your download speed is limited as the client.
Meanwhile the upload speed is reported as being high enough, since the VPS can download your data at 50mbit/s, as this cap is higher.
But when I tested speed on VPS, using speedtest-cli I got this:
That is likely a speed test server within the same data center as your vps, or they have special traffic shaping rules for it.
Try using iperf from your local box to the VPS and see what speeds you get
