It worsens the supply crunch, no? A unit you use sparingly vs that memory going into a GPU that serves many more people.

Those will use different wafers, so unless that memory is allocated for unified memory vs gpu HBM it won't make a difference.
What supply crunch? Tons of RAM available for purchase. It's just expensive. That there is a "supply crunch" is made up to benefit from Trump administration not giving a shit how big corps operate
There's cloud hosts out there with unused compute. Wasted cycles are all over businesses running unused cloud apps and subscribed to services they don't use.
Still need a local computer to access the cloud; so a barely used gadget still exists. And this creates duplication of effort; we built RAM for servers AND the edge devices.
Seems redundant when tech nerds and corporations are really the only people that care.
And all that data in the web is meaningless yet we create a supply crunch storing it in servers.
This an out of touch nickel and dime perspective given the big picture to say nothing of the mess of strip mining and manufacturing pipelines that go into every screw, wire, and such
