Yes, but you are buying access to tested, supported units that are proven to work, don't require custom software, and are almost plug an go. When its time to upgrade, its not that costly.
Designing, fabricating and deploying your own silicon is Expensive, creating software support for it, also more expense. THen there is the opportunity cost of having to optimise the software stack your self.
You're exchanging a large capex, for a similar sized capex plus a fuckton of opex as well.
