The silicon only has to be fancy, because phones are so constraint in terms of space, power and cooling.
Getting phone-like performance in a desktop or laptop form factor and power and cooling budget is a lot simpler and cheaper.

The point was that they do have to buy a new device. The only thing they don't have to buy is new silicon. But that's trivial compared to everything else.
