Ah indeed, thank you.

This is the entirety of OP's post. It is factually and objectively incorrect. It doesn't have a second point, and it barely has a first.

Consumers competing to buy RAM because of some supposed scarcity simply isn't happening. If you have the money, you can buy all the RAM you want. It's in stock practically everywhere; it's just incredibly expensive. That's an entirely different kind of market dynamic. It's called demand. The idea that consumers are somehow fighting over a limited supply of RAM is nonsense.

Companies aren't chasing customers or anyone else for that matter. They're supplying RAM to whoever is willing to pay the most for it, i.e., data centers and AI technology companies. They're actively prioritizing those customers and refusing to supply the consumer market. That's the exact opposite of competing for consumers.

If a new company enters the market and begins supplying RAM to meet consumer demand, there will be very little competition for those customers. In fact, consumers will buy from them hand over fist because there's an underserved market waiting to be supplied.

I 100% understand what I'm reading, which is precisely why I'm commenting on it and explaining not only why this isn't competition but also why OP fundamentally misunderstands what competition actually is.

Apparently, you're also struggling with some rather basic, ninth-grade economics. 🤷

And the sheer confidence with which you proclaim such simple-minded nonsense is... incredible.
