The ps4 doesn't cost $400, that much is clear. You pay for PS+ to subsidize the cost of the actual console. If sony had said the system was $600, we would all be bickering. Even if online MP was free, most of us would be complaining but it is actually cheaper that way. Remember ps3's launch?
If you don't like the ps4/X1 direction, get a Wii U but I'm pretty sure Ninty will probably charge for online after wii U as well after seeing both M$ and Sony pull it off. Right now, part of the reason they can't charge is that their network is still in what's essentially "beta" from what I hear and there isn't much to convince people to even pay to play online.
If you don't like consoles just because of this, get a PC but I promise, that platform has it's own problems.
There's no perfect system, you get what best suits your needs. If you want perfection, you'd best start finding a different hobby.

How can they charge for online multiplayer they don't have?

I was talking about the near future when they do get games that have an online MP component
