FPGAs are good at nothing in the scale that can challenge non-configurable silicons...

They are good at a lot of things that are in a smaller scales. Like general prototyping/testing/simulation, telecom, special-purpose real-time computing etc.

The behind-scene logic is that FPGAs can never make things as flexible as software. And flexible software always offset the inefficiency in a non-configurable chips. Just comparing FPGAs and CPUs/GPUs will never teach FPGAs vendors the reality, or they choose to ignore after all...

I believe you are incorrect. A counterexample to your claim is the increasing use of FPGAs in the datacenter. And various AI engines are FPGA-based. You'll do better for a CPU in Real Silicon; but a full-featured MPU w/standard peripherals + FPGA for unusual & must-be-fast functions is hard to beat.

Tell me how much users are using FOGAs and why xillinx is just a fraction of nVidia's market cap. 5 years ago, nvidia was 2x of xillinx in market cap, now it's 10x.
