I can obtain some precision crystals (+/- 2ppm) for about $8 to $10,

$8-10 for the crystal would imply a total motherboard price of $2,000+.
I think the big market for high end motherboards is gamers, and they are
not interested in accurate real time. The rest of the PC market
probably finds the issue too technical.
PC's clocks are often chosen for price rather than micro, or nano second
timing accuracy.
Personally, I have little need for anything much more than hours and
minutes!
If you need, or just want micro or nano ticks, I believe you can get
them
