Are you including the cost of storage when calculating the cost of serving static video?

Yes, that's exactly why it's more costly to serve static video. Live video can be served straight out of memory, which is cheap. The cost of software to stream live video has pretty much dropped to zero as well.

The big cost is bandwidth not hardware or software. Not a lot anyone can do about that in the short term.
