I'm just quoting the article. Sounds like you have more to add, care to comment on what IS 'the real factor'?

Deals between AI giants and ram manufacturers. That’s what’s creating the shortage and driving up the real prices.

I'm pretty sure we could all have quite reasonably expected rising costs, destruction of science, frittering of international standing, increased morbidity and mortality, etc.
