The components are cheap -- no more than a few dollars, in the kind of quantity that might be purchased for FIRST robotics team use. However, that ignores engineering and tooling costs, which are not negligible.

For about $15, you can buy your own USB-to-serial converter and have it today, and it will work with the older RCs and mini-RCs as well.
