It's more of a humorous situation to imagine, however with respect to the "oh it's normal comment".

No industry with a very limited number of suppliers and with a huge lead time, capex, and tech expertise moat to build a semiconductor fab would ever note that the price of their product has a demand curve that while not a delta function is very steep around fixed maximum production of themselves and all the other suppliers, and that being on one side of that threshold makes all the suppliers poor or just enough money to stay in business vs rich.

How many RAM suppliers are there? Obviously due to the situation we all are in not enough to make the supply curve a very smooth function in response to demand.
