Isn't this literally the reason that Elon Musk found the boring company? He sees that there is a tech AND price arbitrage between existing and feasible tech for tunneling technology. Granted, one of the Boring Company's "Tricks" is that their tunnels are smaller due to only currently wanting to support electric vehicles, so you don't need quite as big tunnels due to less CO2, but still...
They bought a commercial tunnel boring machine and decided to build their own. The first one is named Prufrock and it is going to be helping do the huge project in Los Vegas they've already completed the first phase of:

The next phase of their project literally connects the entire Los Vegas strip underground via tunnels.
