Why do legacy memory modules (DDR2) cost huge sums by all accounts?

Goodnight.
An 8 GB DDR2 DIMM memory module costs ~30 thousand rubles. On the Yandex market, everyone can be convinced of this ( for example ). The latest DDR4 modules cost a penny for the same capacity. Why such a spread? Shouldn't morally dead iron cost at least 2 times cheaper than modern? Or is the technical process for manufacturing DDR2 modules of such a capacity extremely complicated?

Top slats (for DDR2 8 GB this is the limit) for any version are much more expensive than average running ones.
DDR2 is already moving into the class of obsolete hardware and its production is declining, which is why the price is growing, as well as the costs (reinsurance) of sellers due to reduced demand.
DDR 4, on the contrary, for it this volume is considered the most popular, well, it is a modern distributed one, which means that they often buy and demand knocks down prices.
General marketing.

They are unlikely to still be produced, and certainly not in the quantities in which actual hardware is produced. Buy used at flea markets like eBay.

For ddr2 16Gb, this is the maximum amount of RAM, server rarely up to 32. Take the same ddr from it for ordinary PCs 32Gb, server 64Gb. It is because of these maximum allowable capabilities of one bar that the price jumps, although I myself think that such an overestimation is not entirely justified. If you look at 2-4Gb, then the price tag is not much different.

If you have a die on a CNC machine, it will be easier for you to buy this miracle than a new machine.

Because certain funds were invested in it and the sellers want these funds to be returned. DDR2 is still on sale, because the computers running on it are still alive and therefore, in order to bring the amount of memory to a tolerable one (4GB is now the minimum minimum), either buy memory for big money, or change the platform :) Buy it because you need it. It would not be necessary - there would be no such demand and the price would be lower ... Capitalism.
