Cost of designing the machine to use such an SSD, yet keep it hidden from Joe Average (If he sees it, he'll break it somehow) without compromising system performance or stability, then manufacture and integrate this hardware solution into every single machine you build?
The current system achieves more or less the same effect (most reinstalls are due to software issues - it's cheaper to tell the user to reinstall than actually spend time troubleshooting it), but with the visibility problems already solved. As a software solution, it's also going to be *much* cheaper than any hardware solution. More expensive is already too expensive.
