it's astonishing how apple gouges on the memory and ssd upgrade prices (I'm on an M1 w/ 64Gb/4Tb).
That said they have some elasticity when it comes to the DRAM shortage.

The M-series unified memory is built into the chip itself, not separate components. Of course Apple is going to maintain their margins, but it’s easy to see why with this design more memory is more expensive than drams. Well maybe not with the current market pricing which hopefully is temporary.
They gouge you on RAM and SSD but provide a far better overall machine for the price than Windows laptops.
