I don't think anyone buys a 2 node HPC system for production. Note that you can fit 6 more nodes into this 2U system. 288 cores in 2U with infiniband, etc.
This is likely the development setup for someone that also buys a fully populated rack for production. So it's probably not meant to be a great $$/core story at this small scale.
Though, your point that the AMD EPYC is probably pressuring these ARM HPC setups is fair.
