especially as there's no way to reasonably get ram that isn't susceptible to these failure patterns.
If I remember correctly from the original Rowhammer paper, anything from ~2009 or earlier is not affected. Price for RAM was not particularly high in those times either, and I'd be willing to pay the same (inflation-adjusted) amount today if it meant I didn't have to worry about these problems.
In any other scenario, RH-hard dram would be a speciality need and priced accordingly.
It shouldn't be, because the access pattern could show up incidentally in other ways and cause problems like silent corruption.
