No it's just pure price discrimination. They don't care about gamers they just know businesses will pay more if forced to while gamers can't.

I wouldn't say they don't care about gamers, considering that gaming makes up about half of their revenue: https://www.anandtech.com/show/15513/nvidia-releases-q4-fy20...

Sure sorry I realize now the point I was trying to make doesn't match my wording. They do care about selling to gamers but availability to gamers is not in anyway why they are forcing more expensive models of essentially the same cards on the HPC and server market. It's all because they can and the business market is able to bear the cost. Now if they found a true competitor in that market, I think this pricing model would fall apart fast.
