Much of it has to do with legacy code. Yes, some things could even be
done more efficiently in the FPGA because you can actually streamline
the HW to the task, something neither uC nor DSP allow. For example, why
have a 32-bit HW multiplier when you know you'll never exceed 23 bits?
But legacy code won't run anymore and you need FPGA specialists to make
it all work.

It's like with Excel. There's better programs out there but one core
reason why companies stick to it is the huge repository of VBA
applications they have created over the years.
