It’s simple. Apple knows that overpricing their RAM will frustrate a bunch of people, but not enough to deter a large enough volume of customers. This pricing scheme is probably more profitable overall than them being more competitive with their memory prices.
Only competition would be Windows finally having arm chips that give similar power/battery ratio like the M chips.
