It's quite true, but what I've heard from FPGA users is that toolchain and conventions are aliens to each others, I think these are both two different kinds of hell. I don't know what would cost more to a company.

When you deliver an FPGA you’re normally also making your own hardware. That’s a big part of the FPGA porting cost, you have to redesign your boards. I don’t think the same is generally true in the x86 realm. Even if you’re specifically using some feature of the intel micro architecture it’s still essentially a code change rather than an full redesign.
