It depends, if you get a system for 50% less and can cram 100% more hosts in it you’ll happily replace those boards.

Other things, like RDBMS servers, can’t do that or at least not so easy. For them you actually want loads or RAM in the servers. I don’t think it’s practical to manufacture SOCs with hundreds of GB of DDR4 in the package. The package gets too large, also economy of scale is not that great compared to phones or laptops.
