On PS3 it was said to be a fault of the single or 2x speed of the BD drive.

Perhaps after seeing most gamers are ok with install times and that they would save money on games being on the HDD instead of putting better drives (which also increase the life of the console) coupled with the patch hungry state of games Sony and MS didn't bothered anymore for this gen and gone further making all games full installs.

If I had to take a wild guess, better drives would make both consoles' price go up dramatically, which is simply unviable.

Seems the most logical conclusion we can make. Once we accepted as normal to instal they never looked back. But I don't think a 16x speed BD drive cost that much over a 1 or 2x speed BD drive at this time and age, but if you can save some usd on it without no one really complaining why not right?
