Doubt its for cost reasons and more that its just not being pushed out for technical reasons i.e. bugs. They're just staying in Early Preview because Amazon doesn't want to push it out to all Kindles yet.

The last version which went release status was 3.0.1 which had a fairly big flaw regarding temperature sensitivity of the Kindle which caused display slowdown issues. 3.0.2 is buggy and the most noticeable is that the browser doesn't let you type into certain text fields. 3.0.3 fixed the browser and some crash bugs etc...
