Must be all that regulation and socialism leading to unaffordable high prices. 🙄

the ceiling price means those who commit to an SCA are insulated if memory prices go even higher.

Bröther, you are the ones that are freely deciding that the price should be higher. There are no market principles driving this price increase. This is not the result of supply and demand mechanics. The demand has already been back down to normal levels for a while. You are just a monopoly cartel that has no competition until chinas memory fabs start outperforming you in a few years.
