The beauty of supply and demand magic is that the market is now open for anyone that can provide server hosting cheaply.

I can't wait for a scrappy startup to spend a couple billion dollars and several years setting up a new fab for chips so we can see the prices go down!
Plenty of startups are doing exactly that. Perhaps not for your use case, but they do exist. Add to that, that china will eventually crack the ASML process and then there were three. Add some leaks and industrial espionage and then there were four. The market is a ninja, and we should be thankful for it!
Which startups specifically are spending billions to build fab chips?
Good luck getting the hardware for that eh?
That's the rub. There is no such thing as "anyone that can supply hardware cheaply"
Either it's an established vendor with designs and fabs or it's a newcomer that needs to invest a massive pile of cash in designs and fabs. Neither are cheap.
I volunteer my laptop, I suggest you and others do the same. We can hook them up in a VPN with E2ee. We just need 1 public IP. Lets Go!
I like this idea for something akin to p2p shared/sharded hosting.
