TBH, people routinely overlook the other two factors, supply and underlying cost.

Sometimes increases in demand can both increase supply and decrease cost.

“Underlying cost” is part of the supply curve.

Ok, imagine the cost is driven by underutilized fixed costs. How does the supply curve model the decrease in cost as demand increases?
