This in turn introduces a lot of economic inefficiency, for no good reason. I think regulation would be useful here.

Or vendors just abiding by contracts they've already signed!

Contrast one regulation vs. thousands of litigations by companies who don't always have the expertise or budget to pursue complex legal procedures.
If you have a contract that says the price is $1k, pay them $1k and don't answer their calls. They can sue you and they'll lose.

If you have a contract that says they can change the price at any time, and you're a business, that's on you.
