Yeah there was a point after which it became cheaper for the manufacturers to just make read/write drives than produce both.

Fun fact, for a while they would disable the "write" portion. They would sell the same exact drive one for like 99$ that could only read and one for like 199$ that write. Once the techies found out and it started becoming common knowledge they gave up even selling read only drives.
