They "literally" couldn't, there's no idle fab. They could redirect manufacturing to make more consumer RAM instead of HBM but why eat into your profits by doing that? The shareholders won't be happy.

I'm not a fan of this situation but unless there's some WhatsApp texts the investigators will find to point to collusion this is dead in the water. The filing itself is based on a lot of circumstantial evidence.
