It's needed to justify price hikes as components became more expensive due to inflation.
The price already increased, and justified it with rising component prices, so why not do it again?
Because it's an easier pill to swallow, given how unpopular that last hike was.
The price hike happened after they reduced the amount of metals used so production costs went down and after they dropped the weight so much that shipping costs also dropped. They just wanted more money after seeing how much the scalpers were getting.
