I hear what you're saying but memory ultimately is not infrastructure, it's a commodity that's shipped over infrastructure.

The arguments for infrastructure being managed more tightly by the government is because it's a natural monopoly that everything depends on. Memory isn't a natural monopoly, if we found ourselves in a spot where we all depend on 3 companies then that's not a law of nature, we need more companies.

The government interferes with many commodities. Food, oil, rare-earth elements, sugar, airplane frames, etc
