We also do full systems purely in software at large scale, such as this one; https://evertz.com/resources/press/Discovery-Cloud-Oct2017.P... ... fully virtualized in AWS, not just for OTT but also full linear cable/sat broadcast channels.

There are valid use cases for both hardware solutions where appropriate, and software solutions for other use cases. There are many low latency use cases where crazy requirements are still actual requirements.

Conveniently those requirements exactly matched the buffers of legacy FPGA designs. Funny that.
