Is slower (and lower voltage) dual channel RAM not even an option at this point?
Maybe when smartphone chips start being chiplets, that will make more sense, as the bigger memory controller won't be so catastrophic.

The elevator pitch is "Much cheaper and lower power HBM for smartphones" ...And it never took off. Like you said, cost and volume seem to trump everything.
