Which begs the question: why is server rental so expensive, but for maintaining artificial scarcity for the sake of a cloud service's bottom line?

Cloud computing price is still based around (illegally monopolized and price fixed) memory prices, which is absurd because two load-balanced NVME disks are comparably as fast as DDR3 RAM.

The throughout is fast but nvme drives have much more latency than RAM.

We're talking about remote internet-transversing applications. They all have network latency far in excess of any disk technology.

Can you write and rewrite them over and over again thousands of times a second though without damaging them?

Samsung warranties them for 5 years.

DDR3 was 2007, DDR4 was 2014, DDR5 is supposed to be this year.
