I'm not sure, but the point still stands, they don't have to be more expensive.
they dont have to be more expensive but the demand would probably drive the price up at least a bit
either way i doubt its gonna happen, development of cards and the hardware put into them takes at least a full year, and they'd be betting on this specific market still being there by the time they get the factories making those cards. idk if that would be a safe bet since the price and stability of crypto is in limbo rn
