You want to penalize companies for buying things and penalize companies for selling things are market rate?
There are a lot of good examples through history about how central planning economics and strict price controls do not lead to good outcomes. The end result wouldn’t be plentiful cheap RAM for you. The end result would be no RAM for you at all because the manufacturers choose to sell to other countries who understand basic economics.
I think there's a case for banning the sale of services well below the marginal cost of supplying that service - loss leaders, or "dumping" - when it's done on such a scale as AI marketing.
