I don't think it was purposefully engineered. I'm pretty sure it takes over a decade to ramp up production.

It's RAM, they can ramp it up in 2-3 years tops. They just don't want to. When they did it last time demand plummeted and we got cheap RAM. For my 64 GB 6000 CL30 I paid 200€ last year. They don't want a repeat of that, especially with the Chinese now catching up.

IDK, as I understand it, OpenAI bought 20% of RAM *wafer* production, mostly just to prevent competitors from getting access to affordable wafers. OpenAI has no ability to do anything with raw wafers.
