It's amazing how we have had so many posts in the past along the lines of "I would happily pay more for more RAM/faster CPU/RTC/Power button" and yet now we have those things people complain about the price.
I'm still astonished at the price of the Pi in general.
45 years ago the Sinclair ZX80 was launched with 1KB RAM. That cost £99.95 (£79.95 in kit form). Allowing for inflation that would be £410 today!
The Pi is great value at the same price (as the kit) for 8 million times the RAM.
Back when I was learning to program on my mates ZX80, we couldn't have imagined something like the Pi.
