Yes, that would be true if they had a true monopoly.
However, in an open market when a producer offers their goods for higher than the market rate, another producer can steal their business by simply offering the products at market rate. If Samsung decides to try to price gouge then customers can buy RAM from Micron, the only time that this isn’t possible is if there is more demand than their is supply (i.e. Micron has no stock) in which case, microeconomics tells us that the market price will increase.
Now you’re suggesting a price fixing conspiracy among the two largest RAM producers, that’s quite a big claim so you surely have pretty solid evidence to support that position.
Being cynical isn’t evidence and calling people names isn’t evidence.

How naive to think they all wont do the same thing when their only goal is profit.

they are well known for doing just that. two of the times they did it and got caught are briefly summed up here but you can find more about it if you search for it.
No I’m not. I suggesting a for modern for profit compnay will raise prices as high as they can. You know this you are just trolling. good bye.
