Without the requirement for exact repeatability you can use analog circuits instead of digital, and your manufacturing tolerances are greatly relaxed. You can use error-prone methods like self assembly instead of EUV photolithography in ten billion dollar cleanrooms.

Again, I don't really buy it but there's an argument to be made.
