If you need to have your car repaired, you do not only have to pay for the spare parts, but also have to pay the machanic to get the spare parts into the car.

Personnel costs are one part of the costs you have to pay for "making of the game, ONLY the GAME". Without programmers there will not be any game and without payment there will not be any programmers.
Why would you count "hiring Voice actors" but not "hiring programmers"? Is there any difference? The voice actors could use this money for buying a TV which has nothing to do with the game.
If you do not see humans as a kind of resource needed for any busines, I hope you never try to start one.
