Not really, DDR4 has gone up 3-4x the price as well.
Used 8gb sticks are cheap on second hand markets, just get a motherboard with shitload of sots
What? Seems to be a thing in your region, cos here in germany prices have "only" risen by factor 2 to 3 at most. Just looked at prices on Amazon for 2x8GB DDR4 ram, the cheapest goes for around 150 Euros. Before, it was 70 Euros.
I bought 2x16GB DDR4 for 60€ new in Germany, that was summer 2024. The same kit is now around 225€.
