Hopefully some serious competition and general normality will return to consumer discrete GPUs sometime soon, too.

I don't know about competition, but I think we'll see prices bottom out below MSRP before the 4000 level cards come out in the next few months.
Do you think so, because the crypto craze is back in the crypt?
We're already close to that point. Low to mid-end AMD cards are already available at / below MSRP (e.g. 6600XT), and nVidia cards no longer command a > 2x premium across the board.

At the height of the craze, I saw a five-year-old card, the GTX 1050 (not even Ti!), going for over 200.

Yep, the secondhand market is getting flooded.
GPU prices are already coming back to earth, thanks to both improved availability and the collapse of crypto mining.
