One thing I always remember when people say a 2k gpu is insanity. How many people get a 2k ebike. a 100k weekend car. a 15k motorcycle to use once a month. a time share home. Comparatively a gamer using it even a few hours a day for 3k 4090 build is really an amazing return on that investment.

Correct, people balk at high GPU prices when others have expensive hobbies too. I think it's because people expect GPUs and PC components to be democratized whereas an expensive car or motorcycle to not be. 5090s are absolutely luxury purchases, no one "needs" one; treat it the same as a sportscar in terms of the clientele able to buy it.
