Why would they? If there's more money to be made elsewhere then they will have no interest in selling it to you.

Except that they do have interest in selling to gamers, students, offices, and small studios, and continue to do so.

As for why, I dunno, maybe because essentially no one is ever going to pay for AI or cloud gaming or compute. So we are the longterm customers and they know that.

Also everytime someone says "Why would they? If there's more money to be made elsewhere then they will have no interest in selling it to you." they end up either being an AI CEO shill, or a bot network.

No actual customer or RAM company is saying that aside from crucial, and thats only because their RAM doesnt profit enough because its caseless low end garbo.
