A Boeing 777 cost $320 million each. Remove seats, change and strengthen wings, add bomb bay doors and add slope and curves to fuselage and change tail configuration and remove the wifi entertainment system. Still expensive but I would think still cheaper then what is propose. They could buy B1 bombers at about $300 million each. They already work well.
Surely you are kidding.

Bring toilet seats up to military specs with $750 replacements.
B1 tooling has long since been destroyed by order of Congress.
A Boeing 777 is not even vaguely armored and the entire avionics system is not EMP hardened. Did I mention the 777 is fly by wire and has no manual controls? No mid-air refueling provisions, major parts of the 777 are made overseas so there’s a huge security problem...
Costs a bit more than you’d think to convert it to a bomber. And in the end, it wouldn’t work well in the role anyway.
