Not surprising at all: Nvidia doesn't want to compete with their own datacenter cards.

AMD could arguably do it. But they have to focus to stay above water at all, and "put 128GB or more of DDR5 ram on any previous-gen GPU" is probably not in their focus. With the state of their software it's not even certain if the community could pick up the slack and turn that into a popular solution.
Their next generation of APUs will have a lot more memory bandwidth and there will probably be lots of AMD APU laptops with 64GB+ of RAM that can use HW acceleration and not be artificially segmented the way Nvidia can do it with VRAM being soldered.
Nvidia upcoming 'minipc' has shared ram up to 128gb for around 3k. No a competitor but pretty good for enthusiast.

Hopefully is at least quadchannel.
