But nobody was talking about the price delta then.

The narrative was "for 300 bucks you can make your computer so much faster, best investment ever". No mention about increasing HDD prices, nobody cared.

If you’re made of money sure. For others, $300 for storage is a lot, but if it’s vs $200 vs $100, that has an impact on willingness to pay $300.
