Yes, but Orin is already an older part, and is widely available to hobbyists for cheap. Building a custom solution with a supply chain to match would certainly be more cost effective, but if they're simply looking to slap some basic vision algorithms and decision-making on board with standard Linux, and their volumes aren't in the millions, Orin is perfectly fine. I would also guess that based on their supply chain restrictions, sourcing something that isn't built around readily availably commodity parts would be far harder.
