even though it doesn’t affect you in any way whatsoever

Nope, doesn't affect me at all... oh, wait, I can no longer afford a platter drive or ssd to expand storage, I can no longer afford ram, cpus, soon to be pcbs. Nope, doesn't affect anyone anywhere at all.

Recently bought a 1tb m.2 for a friend, it cost more than the 2tb I bought in december

    People using LLMs do drive up the demand for computer components, I'll give you that, though even there it's a bit more nuanced than that.
