These companies are already not paying anything close to the list price, though.

its not about the price but the ability to create chip that fit what you needs. For example: YouTube is now building its own video-transcoding chips.

The biggest cost of making chip is the foundry and the foundry ecosystem have reduced the cost to where everyone can be a fabless and just outsource to foundry like TSMC and Samsung.
