Well, maybe I misunderstand your statement here, but in Telecom most heavy
iron has plenty of FPGAs, and as far as I understand it, they more or less
have to.

FPGAs are mostly useful for prototyping. Once you've decided on a
design, there's no point in realizing it in a reprogrammable
environment. Synthesize it, time it carefully, and run it as fast as
your process allows.
TSMC 0.13u just ain't that pricey any more.
