Everyone needs ram and cpus and other general things so it's in their interest to reduce cost and produce a lot. Stuff like enthusiast gaming GPUs have a relatively niche audience with niche buying habits which is why companies tend to get away with exploiting that.

It’s in our interest. It’s in direct conflict with their interests. Enthusiast GPUs aren’t the only product selling for the highest price they can get away with, almost every component is, including even non-enthusiast GPUs

Nvidia has a monopoly on good gaming GPUs, there is no competition, so the prices are high.
