Why does RAM cost so much on the Raspberry Pi 4?

[/RaspberryPi]

Why does the RAM options cost so much for the RPi 4b? 1GB is £35, 8GB is £75, therefore 7GB of RAM is £40. How can the RAM cost more than the WHOLE rest of the computer?

A stick of 8GB DDR4 ram costs like £20, it's not really that fair of a comparison but it does give an idea of how much RAM costs. I know some computers like Macs do upcharge alot for more storage/RAM but I'd hope RaspberryPi's would be above that.
