It really does not change the overall fuel cost that much. Sure, climb fuel is increased using reduced trust, but your cruise fuel is less, as cruise time is shorter
According to Boeing we save around 40kg of fuel each sector where we can do an unrestricted climb at full climb power instead of using the automatically selected reduced climb thrust. At several hundred departures a day all year that is quite a lot of savings.
