sorry Doc, but you are wrong.

does adding more people to the electric grid make the prices drop?
does adding more people to the phone grid make the prices drop?
does adding more people to the TV grid make the prices drop?
do more people buying cars make the prices drop?
do more people buying gasoline make the prices drop?
do more people buying houses make the prices drop?
ad infinitum.

It also costs more because we do the most research and dev, which isn't cheap. Sad thing is other companies force the costs and ours don't.
it costs more because they don't give a fuck about you.
