Yeah exactly, why bother making DDR4/5 memory when HBM makes so much more money since companies are willing to pay insane amounts for it.
So the price of DDR4/5 will rise to whatever price AI and compute companies are willing to pay for HBM as that's the only point it becomes somewhat worth it for manufacturers to care.
Yes, this is true that prices are continuing to rise because they're still being bought at that high price, but most of that isn't consumers (and/or "enthusiasts") absolutely needing it no matter the cost.
The price is what it is because ai and cloud compute companies are willing to pay that insanely inflated price, so if you want even the chance to get any dram, you need to be willing to pay more than OpenAI/Microsoft/Google/NVIDIA/etc are, for Samsung/SK Hynix/Micron to even consider you.
Why would they bother selling their dram chips in consumer packages for a fraction of what enterprises are willing to pay. The price is what it is, because that's the price that it becomes worth it for the dram manufacturers to actually care about the consumer market.

Extremely competent, saying Signal is not private by design.
While very disingenuous, it's not technically incorrect.
Signal is secure by design, and is extremely good at that with a very well designed and vetted cryptographic protocol.
But privacy isn't one of their primary goals, nor should it if it comes at the cost of security; for example, for the longest time you needed to share your phone number with everyone you wanted to talk to, and everyone in every group chat you are a part of could see it.
If you miss a payment then there's heavy penalty fees and interest
You bring up a lot of good points, but something I would to add is that there is a reason why you wouldn't want it to act like a standard xinput device without steam.
One big usecase for the steam controller is as the primary (and possibly only) input for a HTPC (such as the steam machine). So having the controller act as a basic keyboard and mouse without steam (ie: lizard mode) allows you to navigate menus that a standard controller can't such as pre-boot Operating System menus or BIOS menus without having to breakout a keyboard and mouse.
I'm not sure if it's the same scientists, but the YouTube channel The Thought Emporium has an ongoing series about growing neurons to play retro games (such as OG DOOM).
The playlist of this series is fittingly called Building the Torment Nexus.
Matrix is a poor choice from a cryptographic perspective. With some serious issues historically (some of which are still unfixed to this day), and an extremely poor response to disclosures.
