Isn't this the market working as intended?

This agreement puts a floor on the price that Micron can sell their chips at, and a ceiling on the price that tech companies buy them.

Micron wants the floor, so they can invest in more fab capacity without going bankrupt if there's a memory glut.

Tech companies want a ceiling so they can keep selling their products even if there's a shortage.

If there's a glut, the tech companies will just resell these chips at a loss, or take a bath on their $22 Billion of deposits. It doesn't "lock in high prices" for consumers, just the producers.

I used shake for some simple build scripts and to work on a predecessor of the Haskell Language Server. Due to it's lack of hermetic builds I don't think it's really appropriate for any project you're going to share with more than one person.

That being said I think it's an absolutely amazing Haskell library for building complex systems with scheduling jobs and caching of intermediate results. Once you use it you get the sense that every large codebase has an ad hoc poorly specified build system nestled inside of it. I described the experience of using it briefly here:
