It’s a linear extrapolation that doesn’t take into account the not completely unreasonable chance that commercially viable banana varieties could go [functionally] extinct or that climate change will make it dramatically more expensive to grow them in sufficient quantities such that the price can stay on trend.
I mean, one variation has already had that happen to it… the “Fake” bananna flavoring just didn’t get changed when the bananna strain got changed.
