Ha, that’s the funny part. They could have kept pumping out AM4 and taken market share slowly over time while making normal money, making normal jobs, but noooooo line must go up every quarter. So we instead got new products that are twice as much money (when ddr5 came out) that are less stable and not much better, and then to make line go up more fuck selling to people lets all do AI bullshit instead. And now we are in a world where now there is no current viable product, less jobs, and less money people are willing to spend on things that cost 5X what they should.

Youre complaining that they attempt to advance technology to acquire marketshare?
Is it like a Luddite thing?

Yes, it is a colossal industry wide issue of “needing” a new product in a rapidly decreasing window regardless of the utility of the product.
