For comparison, a 4080 has a lot more uses than a Xbox Series S, which I think you can only realistically use for gaming.

Uses which 95% of mainstream consumer customers will never utilize.
So they shouldn't buy it. Maybe they'd like a nice 4070 or 4060 someday.
These GPUs don't have enough memory for serious AI work. Now that ETH is on proof of stake, high end GPUs are back to being gaming PC components.
24GB is enough for some serious AI work. 48GB would be better, of course. But high end GPUs are still used for other things than gaming, from ML/AI stuff to creative work like video editing, animation renders and more.
And people want to game on PC dude.
