Exactly My Point

"the Mullard 12AX7 long plate at about $175 today vs $3 in the 1960s is seven (7) times the price adjusted for inflation."

If there were 40 trillion of them available, they'd be the same price as in the '60s. And many tube types that are not so desirable are still available for $5 each. It's strictly a matter of supply and demand. Anyone who wants to analyze tube inflation needs to look at reissues, not NOS with limited availability.
