It's not ultra-enthusiasts that are strangling PC gaming. It is that NVIDIA and AMD expected miners to continue to buy high end cards to mine crypto.
Now that mining is a thing of the past, both companies are sitting on a pile of chips while at the same time, used GPUs from miners are flooding the market.
They should have seen the writing on the wall when the warning was given that mining crypto will no longer be a thing a year prior to it ending.
What will most likely happen in the next year or two, is cards will come down in price but most likely not to where they were before the pandemic.

“Thing of the past”
The market is cyclical and we shouldn’t rule out crypto skyrocketing again in the next 5 to 10 years

Crypto mining was mostly for Ethereum, which has moved to proof of stake now (no mining).
So crypto mining with GPUs should mostly be a thing of the past indeed.
