Drive belts and the toothed wheels for them are already cheap - probably cheaper than roller chain and the accompanying sprockets in bulk. The expensive part is the means for separating the drive side rear triangle at some point for belt changes. Any of the suggested methods is labour intensive at the frame manufacture and final assembly stages, so it's unlikely to get significantly cheaper with increased take up.
