The costs to subvert SGX are unfortunately far below millions. Probably hundreds or thousands after you have some one time research.

It is a viable additional client protection, especially against remote malware, software-only tampering (unless there are implementation bugs or backdoors), but not a viable server trust substitute.

Probably cheaper side channel attacks, too. To some extent this depends on the software running under SGX.

how this will help if the encryption/decryption happens inside the chip?

Probing a chip means attaching probes directly to chip's circuitry/cells
