> Now, I find it odd that to this day, there are still only 3 suppliers and ram prices (and SSD prices) have not really followed a reasonable pricing curve save for a few maybe a year pre-thecurrentnonsense, where it was getting closer to what I would have expected

The core problem is, there is only one company making top-of-the-line lithography processes. Even if you are a government - ASML (and their suppliers) are fully booked out.

And even if you had dozens of billions of euros to sink into such a venture, you'll probably go online right into a bust phase of the pork cycle that drove the consolidations of the last decades.
