FPGAs are so expensive because low volume customers (say, less than 10k pieces) are often very support intensive, because production volumes per SKU are in general pretty low, and even overall chip volume is in the low side. Xilinx annual revenue is only around $3B, yet they have more than 4000 employees.

They can put it into a cheaper video card. Due to this, the higher end video card must use the most successful silicon dies, and therefore the price will be higher. Probably their yield on the RTX 2060 is good enough so that their cost is a lot less than the RTX 2080, etc.

MXM cards are expensive simply put because its 2 times or even 4 times smaller than a desktop card, you have to understand the complexity of a MXM card design to reach such small tiny form factors, its simply not just put A on B and then you get C.

It is evident that level of extensive change will put a huge cost strain. The usual price for getting this conversion done would be around Rs 80,000 to 1 lakh which is almost same as purchasing a new Tata Nano.

The expensive ones are expensive for a number of reasons: They have a huge number of transistors. This means they are a lot larger in size than CPU's. and larger silicon is more expensive both from a size perspective, but also from a yield perspective.
