in addition, it is a crappy way of recouping expense of developing
optical disk media drives. the slight extra cost to burn is not that
much greater of read only.

before the first cd drive was released, designs for dvd where already
developed. only decision to be made was whose design would be used.

when it comes to optical drives, it is "let the buyer beware" if he
does not read all the labeling and fine print.
