If Martin felt a bone saddle sounded "better", the extra $10 for the bone saddle wouldn't stop them.

$5 would stop them. How many guitars do they manufacture per year x10?
That would add up. Taylor does the same thing as well as Larrivee (on 03 series)
My Larrivee D-09 came with a bone saddle but my Larrivee L-03WL did not.
Seagull ships out all of their guitars with Tusq but I changed out the Tusq to bone on my Seagull S6+ Spruce and it made a huge difference in the sound.
It is just business. Unless I'm mistaken R. Taylor guitars all come with bone saddles?
But youi're correct about it all depends on what you're looking to achieve. Tone is very subjective.
