Maybe to reduce costs we can use reverse logic and remove black boxes and all their extra cost, as not many planes crash these days.

$100million is a drop in a bucket for any major industry.
Reducing the costs by elimiation of blackboxes is also insignificant. The black boxes are there to determine what happened, not how to prevent an accident. So having them has huge potential to save money in the future by understanding what happened in the past.
End of the day, it's ALWAYS about money. Cost v. Benefit analysis... the blackbox saves money by deferring or eliminating future accidents and the consequential litigation.
There was no real reason to search for MH370 save the benefits of a government appearing to do as much as possible on behalff of their citizens. Why do I state this? Because I believe the plane was hijacked by one of the crew, therefore we know the reason.
