Relying solely on on-chip SRAM will never be economically viable for most use cases.

Could you elaborate on why? Isn't it more economically viable than purchasing separate memory?
Cost-per-bit
You're being purposely terse and obtuse so I must disregard your comments as undecipherable. The reality is that on-chip memory has a lower cost-per-bit than off-chip memory. It's lithographed into the silicon on the same layers as everything else, making it essentially free if you have room on the die. That's why integrated GPUs and SoCs are so popular.
