1 million for 500k and sold for 10m is a 9.5 million dollar profit
1 million for 490k and sold for 10 million is a 9.5 million profit.
10k is a rounding error.

That extra $200k you made by saving a cent literally bought you your next $4M profit if you reinvest it. Not a rounding error in any way when you're reinvesting at such a massive margin.
Quick math:
Let's say 1 million cables at $0.50. That costs you $500k. If you get the cost down to $0.49, you just enabled another 20k cables to be manufactured, and another $200k in profit.
