yes it is. VFX are not cheap. there is a few things they can do that nothing else can...but there's a bunch of stuff that you can do cheaper and quicker "on the day"

I think OP's conclusion from the research is too simplistic. It totally depends on what you are trying to accomplish.

Expense for CGI is too broad. You have to look at why it's expensive.

CGI could be the easier and cheaper route over practical or the opposite depending on what you are trying to accomplish and who is working on it.
