fpga's are not expensive when ordered in bulk, the volume prices you see on mouser are way higher than the going rates.

The actual cost of the part (within reason) doesn't matter all that much for a hyperscaler. The real cost is in the perf/watt, which an FPGA is around an order of magnitude worse for the same RTL.
