That doesn’t sound convincing to me. I mean I understand they don’t want to spend money but if cost is the only barrier it seems like that could be overcome somehow by interested parties.

It's not the costs, it's that some ISPs like getting money from spammers and criminals, and carefully look the other way.

And the other ISPs like getting paid for DDoS mitigation, so they also look the other way. There's no money to be made fixing the underlying problem.
