I personally am not interested in video, but I rather doubt that it would save money to leave the feature out. The sensor is likely to have the capability just because there are a lot of people who *do* want the feature, and sensors are shared across many camera models.
The other big requirements of video (a fast data path and processor) help to provide me with a feature I do value - a higher frame rate.
