The market for them may shrink but that's just an adjustment and can always grow, too. You might see fewer models, slower releases, etc., but that doesn't necessarily impact availability or pricing. Plus, eventually RAM and SDs should become more available again after the bubble burst or if new competitors enter the market.
Now, if you told me a bunch of them went out of business or changed their entire structure, that's more concerning. I know one of them (or more?) had to get out of the RAM market and that could have lasting damage.
Yeah. Crucial
