Good question!

Bitcoin has limited scripting language (Bitcoin script) for security reasons. Having a general smart contract language could open up a larger attack surface area for Bitcoin.

The transaction costs will be low initially as they're a function of network traffic. The main thing here is to decouple scaling of transaction (as miroblocks on Stacks chain) from the scalability of Bitcoin (and Bitcoin is hard/impossible to change).
