RAM chips are not hard to produce compared to many other types of semiconductors; Intel started in the memory game and left because the margins weren't great and they were going to fold. The failure rates on these chips are actually very tolerable; you can have a very bad yield and still have a viable chip due to things like ECC.

Intel entered the memory space because they partnered with Micron. They left the memory space when Micron pulled out of the partnership.

Intel started making DRAM in 1970, Micron was founded in 1978.

Yes, it is difficult, but shafting working class is easy, therefor it is okay.

If the rich decided to buy all drinking water, you would probably be saying that's okay, making water is difficult, shortly before dying.
