FPGA's don't actually have "hard-wired logic" though - they have a configurable routing fabric that takes up a substantial proportion of the die area and has much worse propagation delays than actual hardwired logic, leading to lower clocks than chips like GPUs. Being able to connect logic together into arbitrary designs at runtime is prerty expensive.
