I think it is just plain greed. The AI bubble has made NVIDIA mountains of money but they still want more. So they focus production on higher tier consumer GPU’S and their Pro series and give a middle finger to budget conscience consumers.
My theory is its easier to produce a product for a small number of big investors in AI than millions of consumers looking to build hobby computers. Plus the AI companies are flush with cash, MUCH more than the average consumer. So they are getting the cash now and worrying about the fallout later, just like everyone else.
That’s every sector right now. They’re all aiming for the top 10% who earn as much as the bottom 90% put together. For computer hardware, that number is probably a lot worse.
