IANAL, but isn’t this against GPU terms of service, as in why companies can’t just host 3080s etc in cloud?

The customer use license specifically talks about datacenters, not "cloud": "The SOFTWARE is not licensed for datacenter deployment, except that blockchain processing in a datacenter is permitted" https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/geforce-license/

TIL that a GPU has a ToS?! What's next ToS'd RAM and storage?

Technically it's not ToS to GPU, it's a license to the software: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/geforce-license/ So using a completely open source or third party driver and no CUDA is fine.
