Fpgas are too expensive, power hungry, and large. We use them for many tasks at my workplace and we are spinning up an ASIC team because using fpgas just doesn't meet our power and size requirements. Also, building asics can be cheaper in the long run if the future of what needs to be done is relatively stable.

I don't doubt it, yet I found hard to describe the human brain over time, especially across people, as that; at least from a DSP and beamforimg of impedance measurements from the scalp to gauge the relative output of power at variable regions in the brain perspective.
