We would have, if the expensive memory was a long term trend. It is not - eventually the supply will expand to match demand. There is no fundamental lack of raw materials underlying the issues, it is just a demand shock.

Also, it's not like we have regressed in the process itself either, which was historically the limiting factor. As you said this is purely an economics thing resulting from a greedy shift in business focus by e.g. Micron.
