Right -- this is one of the reasons why some people think PoS is better than PoW. Much more expensive to permanently attack in this manner.
Realistically, if Bitcoin were attacked in this manner, the community would probably respond by switching its proof of work function. If attacks continued, it'd probably end up doing PoS. So an actual attack might be much more expensive/likely to fail.
