Why? I mean, they aren't compelled to manufacture DIMMs.
Right now, there is a window in time where there are companies willing to pay tons of money for HBM, more than most people and companies are for DIMMs. It'd be crazy for memory manufacturers not to make HBM if they have the capacity to do so, if they're doing way better by doing so.
