Not to sound snarky or anything, but since when do prices go down? If people were willing to pay the inflated price, there's no incentive for them not to make that the new standard.

The entire existence of computers outside the last five years...

I agree to some extent, but even before then hardware was getting expensive thanks to stuff like the Bitcoin mining craze. Harddrives have been getting cheaper on a dollar per TB basis for a long time (as they should), but I remember the days when it was cheaper to build a gaming PC than to buy a new console, and those days are long gone. And after COVID hit, greedflation set in to declare what the new normal is.
