Well this also shows their commitment to Tensorflow if they willing to pay to fab custom chips for it. Then again, in the Google scheme of things that's probably not a huge cost.
They've probably carefully modeled the energy savings over GPU/FPGA and found it to be substantial enough, even taking into account costs of design changes.
