Can someone explain to me why SSD's keep having a high price for such a lengthy period,the progress of this technology seems slower than what happened with HDD right?

I'm curious about the resources,royalties,patents,productioncycle.

because SSD tech has barely started like mainstream 5-10 years ago so the production plants, R&D and materials needs to be recouped, while the HDD tech has been recouped 30 years ago

HDDS are ancient really really ancient

Alright seems it was my own misconception making me believe in a big difference of progress between these two technologies.

Thanks!
