True but also to remember that vendors build the chips the industry demands. So if they need to provide 1MB they will - it will just mean a larger BOM unless the chip package needs to grow. The size is going to be the biggest bottleneck there.

You fixated on one bit of the argument, but if you want to discuss that: Memory on logic processes is expensive. That's why SRAM is precious on microcontrollers. Also, already the largest memory sizes require much larger than typical packages.
A microcontroller with a few megabytes of RAM to support several crypto sessions with this cipher is going to be a big cost multiple over current micros.
