The fact that the price is being dramatically raised to the grand total of $37 says more about how fantastically cheap it is to visit the Louvre currently. They could easily double that and not see any noticeable decrease in ticket sales from tourists.
Trying to recoup their recent losses? Doesn't feel right though to make a distinction based on country of origin. What about "égalité"?
If it is not right, why every country on earth is doing it?

name one. I have traveled a lot and can’t say I can name one place where this is a thing. the closest I’ve seen is like tollroads that have different payments methods for residents vs non-residents :)

My travels through India frequently charged a much lower price for Indian citizens/residents, vs tourists with foreign passports for tickets to museums/temples/etc. The fee to foreigners was not exorbitant when compared my salary back home but would have been unaffordable to someone earning a local Indian salary.

Well, they got their exhibits for free, didn't they?

Being priced out doesn't mean you can't appreciate the culture, you just can't visit it in person. It still can be possible to experience remotely via computers.
I don't really think that is a similar experience, there's something about seeing paintings in the flesh that simply can't be recreated digitally. The texture, the scale, the colours... Maybe one day if VR becomes commoditized and freely available.
