I think you vastly underestimate how much it would cost for them to offer it a la carte and keep their overall revenues the same. I'd be absolutely dumbfounded if more than 1 in 10 households would be willing to pay more than $5 for ESPN, which means your equivalent cost would be more like $50/month. That's why TV stations are adamantly against a la carte models.
As it is, your enjoyment of ESPN is being subsidized by all the people out there who don't give a shit about it. That's why the $5/month price is considered to be outrageously high.
