The cost of electrifying the thousands and thousands of miles of track in

It's a small fraction of the cost of laying the track in the
first place. If the economics make it worth it, then it will
happen.

Most of the track has been there and paid for since at least WWII, so
that's a red herring.

And electrifying track costs more than laying track since you not only have
to build complicated stuff (compared to 2 steel rails nailed to wood) along
the track, you have to build the stuff to get electricity to the track.
