It must be something way more complicated than just adding more ram to the chip. It took until 2015 iMacs to see 16 GB chips, and even then they are $175 each.
I got a killer deal on 1MB RAM chips for my original Mac II for $229.50/ea, when I loaded it up w/ 8MB... woulda been $239/ea to buy four, or less, and that's when the prevailing price was around $300 per MB. 16GB for 25% less than 1MB sounds like a really good deal. Of course, people will never need more than 640KB for personal computing...
