Because they are in cahoots with the top 3 manufacturera to raise prises insanely. The moment a new player steps on to the market they can offer half the price and still have over 500% increased price.
What's stopping them from doing the dame with these new players? I don't know anything about the memory market but that feels far more likely to happen to me than anything good for consumers.
that would drive up the price of ram in China too, which would likely make the CCP quite cross with them. Electronics are a huge export and the Chinese government has to worry about entire cities going offline or having to pivot their entire industrial sectors if the shortage lasts too long.
