I think a lot of this has to do with the market economics of the SX chip. One reason that Parallax is able to keep the prices low is that the design is basically locked in. For them to move the core to a new package, it would require the complete process of design, manufacture, and certification, and that costs money.

However, Parallax is a business, and if you were to order 50,000,000 of a new package, I'm sure they would sit down at the negotiating table with you!

For the hobbyist, I think the best way to get moving with the SX48 is to use the SX48 protoboard. They're dirt cheap for what you get.
