We weren't talking about COGS, we were talking about "cost of compute", which isn't an accounting term.

For the rest, anyone can define and apply an accounting metric but that doesn't mean it tells you anything useful. If you look at the unit cost of any typical IP business it's nearly zero. Yet, many companies lose money on making movies, video games, apps and books.
