i think the pricing is a mostly irrelevant detail, actually, which is why i didn't mention it. what's relevant is availability
you're right that availability of counterfeits isn't real availability, but i think you're vastly exaggerating the seriousness of that problem. a more likely reason for chinese distributors lowering their prices for the atmega328 is that it's not appealing for new designs, so they need to offload their leftover inventory
