Filming is cheap, well no that's not exactly true let's just say
filming is not astronomically expensive. The real money piles up in
the editing and special effects. You may notice that in most of the
deleted scenes the special effects are rudimentary or nonexistent. A
really really good director, like Stanley Kubrick or Alfred Hitchcock,
would have no deleted scenes to offer. They would not waste money on
deleted scenes because before one frame of film was exposed they knew
in their head exactly precisely what the finished product should look
like. But such geniuses are very rare.
