Regardless of energy density, creating gold in a fusion reactor will still be more expensive than digging it out of the ground. We are far from exhausting that natural resource.

Again yes, but that's not the point. The point is you can't do that with any other energy source.
Seeing as the only known way the universe makes the stable isotope of gold is through colliding neutron stars, I doubt you can do that with fusion either.
Well you can.
