I honestly think we’d be there already if every new camera wasn’t compelled to additionally be a professional video rig. Prices are artificially high as a result.
I've mentioned the flip-side argument to this before. Prices may actually be cheaper because of the added video capabilities. It increases the market of the camera and more sales can mean a lower price. Remove video, and you have a smaller market, more niche camera and thus you'd need to charge a higher price.
