Nvidia has decades of experience selling hardware to people with all the pains that entails, support, sales channels, customer acquisition, software, it's something you don't just do overnight, and it does cost money. Google's TPUs get some of their cost efficiency from not supporting COTS use cases and the overhead of selling to people, and the total wall clock time has to also include the total operational costs, which dominate at their size (e.g. if it's 30x slower but 1/50th the TCO then it's a win. I don't know how TPUv5 stacks up against the B200). It's not as simple as "just put it on a shelf and sell it and make a gajillion dollars like nvidia"
