But the claim to begin with was that they increased the price due to increased demand straining resources. It would be more odd if it didn't come down after a time with that justification.
Increased demand would bring increased revenue to cover increased resources, no?

Generally governments don't work on such a simple profit model. Especially not when activity in one sector (removing citizenship) damages activity in another (collecting taxes).
