Considering the evolution of manufacturing it's even worse than you make it out to be. It was 100 euros to DOUBLE the amount of RAM, now it's 230 euros for the same thing. Even if we introduce inflation, it should be 130 euros maximum. And I think inflation is a completely bullshit argument in fast evolving competitive technology field. What is needed is comparative analysis with equivalent products at similar prices from both years. Back then Apple RAM pricing was already thought to be a bit too much but now they are just outrageous... If you look at competitors' offerings there is no comparison. They may have a fast power efficient chip but it doesn't warrant that much markup.
