All this means is that they are going to need a lot more investment than a software company.

  It's not just cost, it's also cycle time (as mentioned in the article.) To "do" hardware requires a company to be fully formed, with engineers of all kinds, before they can even really begin. They can get a minimal MVP using a Teensy board or something from mbed, but beyond that, for anything of any serious complexity, they have to build out a company.
