Should the PS3 have had Blu Ray?

Yes, without the PS3 'HD-DVD' would have had a fair shot at winning the "HD War", and Sony would have missed out on a percentage of royalties (Not that I expect this amount of money to be huge...).

I ask you this: Do you think the money Sony made from Blu Ray royalties would be larger than the money saved from a Blu-Ray-less PS3 and the money gained by selling more, cheaper PS3s?

Do I think  Sony will make more from the royalties in the long run than they lost due to adding Blu-Ray to the PS3? Yes.

Sony's "lucky" because the world isn't ready to switch over entirely to 'download only'.
