The price doesn't mean much, the 1080 is pretty old at this point and the M1 has considerably smaller transistors. Considering how expensive Apple products are it's quite possible the cost of an M1 chip isn't much lower than that of the core shipped inside the 1080. A lot of what you pay for on a 1080 is cooling, display output, and power delivery.

Indeed, some of the cost of a 1080 at this point may be that the demand is constrained to people that want replacement parts for uniform deployments...
