Why does GPU pricing have to be so infuriating?

I NOTED A WHILE BACK that prices of pretty much everything had normalized with the pandemic receding and other supply chain abnormalities subsiding. The one exception were GPUs.

And I'm getting the sense that the latest ones suggesting AMD has ditched the high-end variants of its next-gen RDNA 4 graphics family are on the money. At first glance, this seems pretty disastrous, especially given how expensive gaming GPUs have become and how desperately we need somebody to put Nvidia under pressure. But is it? Is it actually?
