Which means FiM reduces the cost per match by close to a factor of 10!?

From what I understand, that was the plan all along. Take 3 regionals and do 7 districts and a championship for less than the cost of 2 regionals.
This is one of those success metrics by design. They designed the districts to cost less, delivered on their design, and thus met their metric. Similar with number of matches played and several other "metrics" . See an issue, measure it, analyze it, design a solution, do the analysis, get approval from management to implement solution, verify solution meets objectives. This process sounds oddly familiar.....
FiM good job meeting designed in metrics. With some fine tuning, and a few changes, it could, maybe, just might work...
