Perhaps that's why they invented SACDs?
Also, are CD players designed to accept CDs with a mat on top of them???
Plus, that CD 'test tone' to improve and clean whatever; why don't they put that 'test tone' on all CDs at their beginning?
...Incorporated invisibly (not audible, and not detrimental) to the first track.

"Some" of the reasons for the crazy prices of a few high end CD players/transports are the costs associated with keeping extraneous light sources or reflections from impacting the reading of data. They may not use "mats" but the machining of the disc tray, the sealing of the unit and the material coating used to absorb light perform some of the same functions. I would guess the higher the quality of the transport the less effective a mat would function.
