Yes, but fiber costs 10x as much as copper to deploy!
Nope, fiber and copper installation costs are almost the same. In fact, when the copper gets larger, the fiber is cheaper due to cheaper materials. Labor is still labor, cable is still cable. The cost is still dominated by the labor costs and not the materials.

I have to disagree. Fiber optic cable is far more expensive that copper lines.
