When you say "you're paying for XXX" you mean cloud prices (in terms of $ to complete a similar job)?
I was referring to running it on your own metal, but your argument might hold there.
Obviously from a cloud provider I'd just take a massive pile of RAM rather than NVMe drives.

If you want to buy the capability to run the job on-prem, but the hardware sits idle most of the time, then NVMe might be optimal. However, you should be aware that these constraints have greatly increased the cost of the job itself.
