Indeed. The big difference is that you can 'run' a hardware design on an FPGA and then, when it works, actually build the hardware.
FPGAs are by definition emulation systems. Whatever you 'run' on them doesn't change the FPGA into something else. It's always the same chip. Just like a CPU doesn't become what it runs.
I don't have a problem with FPGA computers, but the denial surrounding them is a bit ridiculous.
