If we have ssd’s that exceed the 2tb mark, why are RAM modules still limited in size?

Question

I understand that even the fastest nvme drive is way slower than RAM, but surely that isn’t the only reason we don’t see 1tb memory modules on the market. I was only able to find 512gb modules in my searching, and that was for servers.

In short, we don’t need as much RAM as we do proper storage, there’s hardly any incentive at the moment to create terabytes of RAM in one module, since most people only need 16GB of RAM total.
