Fair enough and not debating any of the points you make, but I am still going to go on a whim and speculate that their price increases are not just to reflect inflation, but rather to account for the high demand (and high prices on secondary markets). Indeed, I would further assume that the increase linked to the general inflation is probably around 3%, which is what you see in less popular models, and that the “hot models” saw an additional 7-9% increase just because they can (and should?).
Whether that will impact the rest of the industry, or not, is anybody’s guess.
