Perhaps, but they seem to be in a better position than many to get that cost to a reasonable level.
They've got the scale, the research side, lots of experience with models of different sizes, they own TensorFlow, they produce and deploy their own Tensor chips (so I would guess are not dependent on Nvidia's tech at 10x markup), and have lots of experience in datacenter power efficiency.
This is all just based on what I've read in tech news. I happen to work at Google but don't have any insider info here. I'm biased, but they seem to be in a good place.
