I think the idea is that, in fact, you do.

Not one-time cost, but rather TCO.

You get a fully auditable hardware and software BOM, and you get an air-gapped, API-driven, on-prem cloud.

You still have a fairly large up front cost ($600k base in 2023ish numbers, probably over $1M now?), and an ongoing support subscription.

    I think it’s fair to assume the idea is for it to eventually be more cost effective than other solutions as they scale up.

      I've never been under the impression that is the case.

      They are filling a niche no one else is for a small pool of fish with virtually endless pockets.
