Exactly.
This article mentioned that they did this on a budget of less than
15K for computer, hardware, and software.
Professional studios used dedicated workstations and computers
costing much more money. (add 000s to whatever figure)
They are dedicated machines and specialized software.
You have to hand it to Apple for developing and marketing FCP. It
has made its mark.
By the way it is these guys who start off making small films that
will someday end up making large films.

The article focused solely on those 10 nominations for
documentaries. The article, as far as I could see, made no mention of
what software was used in any of the other films in other categories.
It is quite probable that the big movie studios use software that has
been specifically written for their purposes, and is not "off the
shelf" stuff as is Final Cut. To compare Final Cut or other "off the
shelf" software with customized editing software that can cost tens or
even hundreds of thousands of dollars would be silly and is not what
the article was doing.
