"blaming rising costs" makes it sound like they're actually doing something shady.
It's not exactly a secret that memory and storage costs have gotten more expensive. It should not be a surprise when a piece of hardware that depends on those gets more expensive too.
This is a dog whistle to an audience that doesn't like it when companies make profit (but who would probably deserve a higher salary, according to themselves).

Also whatever tariffs they've been swallowing to import these to the US, and the risk that those increase at basically any time...
