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.

		A price increase in one market can displace demand to other markets. A workstation user or gamer might want a desktop PC loaded with DDR5. But they'll also consider a desktop with DDR4 or even a laptop with LPDDR4X if they get more for their money. So a rise in demand/prices for DDR5 can trigger a lesser rise in demand/prices for LPDDR4X

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.
