True, but in general MPLS is more costly. It's available on limited devices, from limited vendors. Infact, many of these vendors, like Extreme, charge you if you want to enable MPLS features on a box

Marketing, not fundamentals. DC people are driving demand for VXLAN and SRv6, because they assume MPLS is something scary and complex.
