And on a camera that costs anywhere from USD$1000 to USD$6500 does the cost of an exFAT license really matter?

Yes, it does.

If you manufacture 100K of them, and save 10 dollars on every piece, you got an extra million in savings.

From the wiki, my understanding is the licence is $0.25 a unit, not $10?

It was a number to illustrate a point, not exact figure for this specific case.

Yes, the manufacturers will go great lengths to minimize variable costs. If they can shave $0.25, they will. At volumes, it matters.
