Respectfully I disagree. There are tasks which is better managed by
software and tasks which is better managed by hardware. In the world of
FPGAs, it is also worth mentioning that some tasks is best done there.
The big trick is to find a balance between various methods, available
resources, partitioning of the problem, doing it on time and achieving
the needed performance.
Of course you are right, the best solution must be decided case by case.
But the biggest plus of the software is that it can be changed on the fly,
without an expensive reworking station, and the manual ability to correctly
use it. And a side effect is speed : you can test many variants of a solution
in a time frame of a few minutes. Not so easily doable with hardware changes.
