Why would you want a combo HD-DVD drive at this point? There is no HD-DVD studio content in production at this point.
Or are you saying you would have liked MSFT to offer a combo drive back when they had an HD-DVD add on? I assume the main reason for this was that MSFT was in the HD-DVD group (HD-DVD used MSFT software and so it earned royalties to my understanding) while MSFT had no IP in Blu-Ray at all so pushing the technology was not in their interest.
