You absolutely can, but the hardware needed for anything but the most basic stuff is fairly expensive. Given some time, it'll become more affordable, assuming data centers don't still hoard up all the memory or other critical hardware. I don't feel like there's need for a conspiracy theory to explain the current situation, although I'm sure some parties are definitely keeping an eye out for such possibilities too.
