The problem with putting a full frame sensor into every DSLR is cost. One of the biggest material expenses is the the silicon wafers used for the sensors, and the surface area of a 35mm sensor is so much greater than for an APS-C one that the volume of units they can build from a single wafer drops significantly, especially when taking into account the increased likelihood of encountering a flaw as chips increase in size.
