It sure as heck doesn't cost $400 or $700 to make, which the two solo players cost.

The very fact that MS has one in the Xbox One S and the console costs $300 shows that it does not cost a fortune. Microsoft is not going to sell their console for $300 if just the Blu Ray drive costs to manufacture $200.

No one here said it costs that much. The only assumption anyone made was you in that it couldn't cost more than $10.

There is people talking now saying that Sony saved $15 by not putting it in.

Your right. I was way off.  The UHD drive costs $15.50 more than a normal blu ray drive. And that is for Microsoft. Sony would be less.
