The Mustang will get more expensive as time moves on as well. As fuel prices will go back up, fuel economy regs get stricter, self-driving cars take off, they will be driving sales of Camaro's, Mustang's, etc down and price up to compensate or you might even see the Camaro and Mustang die off.
The days of having a car with a V8 for (relatively) cheap are numbered. It's why I am saving as much money as I can now so I can pick up a 6th gen Camaro SS in the next year or two because I don't see them remaining affordable for me in the next 10 years or so.
Whether this was GM's game plan was to accept these lower sales for higher profits or they got arrogant and thought people would pay the premium, I don't know. Maybe it was a combination of both. We can quarter back all we want about the evolutionary redesign, price, etc. But, the price of Camaro's and Mustangs are only going to go higher in the future.
