It won’t be 50% of the cost due to overheads like said above, it may be more like 60%+.
Another factor is that often the cost of developers is not the most significant factor. If a company can get say $100m of value out of $10m of salary cost on engineers, it doesn’t really make sense to instead spend $6m to get $80m of value.
And just adding more people isn’t easy as each person increases communication overhead.
