How much cheaper would it really be? 2.5 inch 2TB drives really aren't that much more expensive than 3.5 inch drives.

If you buy this device, then buy a 2TB 3.5 drive, you'll end up paying about the same.  The idea is, is that 3.5 drives come in larger sizes the 2.5 inch drives do.  Basically its a way to go over the 2TB limit that you'll probably never be able to if you only install a drive internally.

I guess that makes sense. But I imagine that it won't be that long before you can buy 3-4TB 2.5 inch drives for what we're paying for 2TB ones now.

Well, its possible.  But I've read a few places that 2TB might be the limit (or close to the limit) for a mechanical drive in the 2.5 inch format.  Obviously that doesn't apply to the 3.5 inch as there is a lot more space.  I don't think they have reached the max size there yet.  But still, the size of the space available in a 2.5 drive may go higher, but with that will go a massively increased cost, which make it even less worthwhile to go down that route.
