I'm thinking, though, that the major publishers just can't let a book go out there is it's less than $10.

That or they may think that while you're reading that book you aren’t spending more for the latest Dale Brown book (I'm not picking on Dale Brown, just an example).

Looking at it that way I see there is logic to the idea of not putting out the backlist at a low-ish price. One reason would be it puts new authors without those backlist titles at a pretty large disadvantage for sales. So maybe the price just needs to be what it will be.
