They don't make RAM, there's only a very few companies that actually make the chips that go into RAM. Micron, SK Hynix, and Samsung basically make up the entire market and they're not afraid to use that to their advantage.

I understand they don't yet. But couldn't they use this demand to get into that industry? Surely they have the resources.

This comment is absolutely true, Samsung made almost as much profit as NVIDIA last year, boosted by memory sales. Their margins also skyrocketed. Everyone knows what that means.
