I think it's more that Nvidia knows datacenter customers have the money to pay a premium for "datacenter grade" products.

Isn't that kind of the point? If consumers and enterprises were competing for the same product, we would probably see a similar situation as we are with consumers and miners.

We would also see higher prices for consumers, since Nvidia would need to crank up higher profit margin a bit on their RTX cards to make the same average profit per chip sold without their high margin Quadro cards going to enterprise.
