The hardware is expensive because it's supply constrained. Demand far exceeds supply.

Harming Nvidia would only make us more compute constrained, and raise prices further.

It seems it's impossible to get a certain type of person to understand this regardless of whether it's housing, education or chips.

Harming the producers of [thing] or disincentivizing profits will not make [thing] cheaper if demand remains the same (or if it is growing, like in all of the areas I mentioned).
