I would figure many teams would jump to it if all they had to do was pay an extra $500 to the reg. fee to get those in the kits.

No, they wouldn't.
$500 is a very significant amount of money for a lot of FIRST teams. More than many have available to build their entire robot with.
Any increase in price would not be well received by the FIRST community, even if it is "only" $500.
In addition, there's no reason that a low cost, reliable alternative to the banebots transmissions can't be included in the kit.
