Density isn't the only issue - power usage is also a contributing factor. Because SRAM uses more transistors per bit, leakage of the transistors in large arrays is a significant source of power draw. In DRAM leakage of the single transistor per cell can be compensated for by adjusting the refresh rate.

MRAM and other persistent memory technologies might be used someday, but there's a lot of R&D work to get them to the same level of price and performance as DRAM. It's sad that Intel gave up prematurely (imho) on Optane.
