Well, it would make sense with how much computer sales have slowed down, lower volume needs a higher price for returns

Isn't a motherboard just a large PCB with sockets?

maybe i'm getting my terminology bass ackwards, but i thought PCB meant just the platform with connections between contact points, hence printed circuit board, while a motherboard is a PCB with all the components, integrated shit (BIOS, onboard graphics/audio, wifi, etc.) soldered on and ready to build

it appears to be both.

According to the report, prices for PCBs used in consumer motherboards are expected to rise by at least 50% during 2026. Costs for copper, surface-mount capacitors, power components and supporting controller chips have also increased.

It's a situation where all MOBOs are PCBs, but not all PCBs are MOBOs.
