I haven't, that's the point. If a Raspi going from $25 to $145, an increase of 5.8x is fine, and a Zero from a decade back being twice the price today, then surely when you go from $10/GB of DDR4 to new shiny modern DDR5, that increase of 5.8x is all fine too. Just buy that decade old DDR4 for double the launch price if you think it's too expensive. And from looking at DIMMprice, it's still "only" around $25/GB, that's a pure *bargain* right? Obviously neither of them are fine and both situations are utterly outrageous.

To be fair they weren't saying *they* think it's fine, they were implying that I do. They are obviously aware of inflated prices.
