    Because they are filling market demand. They don’t have to produce consumer ram (or even cheap ram), they just have to supply the market demand for any dram chips and prices will fall, providing demand doesn’t increase further - which it still may.

    Ram is expensive because of low supply and high demand. I’ve not heard of any cartel agreements, so price is still set by the market itself.
