With consumer phones you're not telling your customers "spend $200,000 with us to try and find holes before the bad guys do it". Commercial SAST tools have been around for 20 years and the pricing hasn't moved in all that time. With AI tools you've got a combination of the perfect hostage situation, pay for our stuff before others will find bad things about your product, and a desperate need to create the illusion of some sort of revenue stream, so I doubt prices will be dropping any time soon.
Yeah and to give a more recent example, it's exactly like how RAM, storage, and other computer parts have gotten much cheaper over the last 3 years... oh wait.
Good point. This is why consumer phones have got much worse since 2005 and now cost millions of dollars.
Now do uber rides

With the way the chip shortage the way it is, I'm a little concerned that my next phone will be worse and more expensive...
