I haven't really seen any brainwashing that you need liquid yeast to make the best beer (for certain styles). For American beer styles that require flavor neutral yeast then US-05/WLP001 are essentially interchangable...all else being equal there's no issue with using US-05. There are plenty of commercial breweries that use dry yeast. I don't know that it necessarily costs much less to do so.
You don't need to buy liquid yeast and make a starter if you're making similar styles that require the same yeast...then you can just repitch from one batch to another.
