They don't want to pay anymore than they have to. The problem is we aren't talking about paper futures on the COMEX/LBMA. We're talking about physical delivery being used for manufacture.

Supply and demand. If the price is too low, the supply gets misallocated and there isn't enough available for users. Tesla makes around a million cars a year. Smartphone companies make close to two billion phones per year. Silver is ESSENTIAL to both those industries.

The newer superfast charge car battery technology use much more silver. Higher silver prices incentivize increase silver production/recycling.

When it comes to COMEX/LBMA pricing, paper silver dominates. When it comes to physical bars, supply and demand dominates. Somethings got to give, and what will give is the price goes up several fold.
