The problem isn’t that the cost of the ram individually, it’s the cost of the entire SKU at scale. Which is what people forget.
The reason you can buy 64gb sticks cheap is for a few reasons – it’s a singular component that has to compete in a single category and also the volume at which it is manufactured at makes this price possible.
Each Apple configuration is mostly unique in the sense that each board design is its own because components are soldered in.
