Film prices are going up, but that's to be expected from an industry which though getting more popular, is still very niche compared to what it was a few decades ago. I think the increases we're seeing now are made more dramatic by pandemic related supply chain issues, so the increases may not be this bad in coming years, but without commercial users (which I don't think will happen again) it won't go back to pre digital prices, even adjusted for inflation.
Not that I think Kodak and other manufacturers are completely benevolent institutions who aren't in it for profit, but I'm willing to pay more for film, and maybe shoot less if the alternative is these companies going under and there being no film.
