Feel the same way here. Can't help but get the vibe that big tech wants to lock consumers out, eliminate the ability to have personal computing/self-hosted computing. Maybe in tandem with governments, not sure, but it's certainly appetizing to them from a profit perspective.
The end goal is the elimination of personal ownership over any tech. They want us to have to rent everything.
Honestly its not the fact that they want us to rent everything but rather that effectively an AI tax is happening on us general public (or even hobbyists) where the price of hardware/ram is increasing because of AI demands.
I don't exactly think that they did it on purpose to chokehold the supply but it sure damn happened and that doesn't change the fact that prices of hardware might / (already?) increase
