It guarantees that DVD never dies out, and I think that is the ultimate goal.

I think that eventually, a manufacturer gets to a price point they just don't want to go under. At that point, they start adding features rather than dropping price. One sees this in other items as well. The actual manufacturing cost of printing a DVD or Blu-Ray is likely a very small percentage of the price at this point.
