Regardless of the intent, they’ve caused huge swings in supply that created a lot of the same market-disrupting effects as an anti-competitive dumping scheme; they flooded the market with unsustainably low prices that pushed out rivals, and now the price is higher. Even if it wasn’t done with the goal of creating a DDR4 monopoly as originally feared, it was still China’s very rapid pivot to end DDR4 and move to DDR5 that moved markets.
