Yes. RAM got expensive, because demand went up a lot.

Is there a lot of new demand for the kind of RAM on a RPi?

This is not the same stuff an H100 uses, and it’s not even made in the same facilities, is it?

I think it’s more likely that the volume is not large enough to make up for the previously crappy margins on cheap RAM products.

It was great while it lasted.

Somewhat, but not all of that demand was real; some of it was promised and not followed through on.

Also, supply isn't growing to match, in part because some companies exited the business.
