For instance when a FPGA board, cheaper than the CPU of a PC, beats the PC
in practical sense, there's every reason to prefer that solution,

Yes, right, but do you think THIS is the case?
I hardly can see that an FPGA board can ever be that costworthy as a CPU
board with the same power. The same with EDA tools: C/C++ Compilers,
simulation option, verification and such is much better, easier and
quicker done in the field of software and CPUs. Costs of material and
costs of development time are the most important aspects driving
companies to use CPU systems and replace FPGAs wherever possible.
