I never understood this. They do it because they can. All you have to do to wipe out your competitors and become a monopoly is refuse to raise your prices. They starve themselves, you buy them up cheap.
It literally does not matter to the AI companies right now. They've convinced so many other companies to put every egg, including non existent future eggs, into one basket. They are buying so much RAM that the manufacturing infrastructure cannot keep up and would take years to introduce more.
tl;dr they're all fuckin stupid
Part stupidity but mainly infinite greed. Hopefully they kill themselves searching for the non existent gold.
There's no monopoly. Micron also makes RAM and they also keep raising prices. It's supply and demand
