That's just illegal anticompetitive behavior from memory manufacturers, and incompetent/corrupt/senile government officials not enforcing laws. It's as bad as it's ever been, but it's not new, and I don't think it's actually about LLMs specifically.
Even if prices were normal, there would still be plenty of reasons to hate LLMs, AI companies, and their products.
