Is this the death of somewhat affordable computing?
This is part of the death of accessible luxury goods entirely.
It's not just RAM, it's every other computer part, it's your milk and coffee, it's your gas, it's your plans on getting a car that actually works, it's your chances at owning any kind of investment ever.
The forces of capital succeed when people want things, and no better way to make people want things than take away everything else. Gotta get those black friday stampedes at Best Buy and the only way you do that is make it too tempting to pass up paying only 150% markup on TV's instead of the usual 200%
