Then you buy an usb mining dongle for $10 or mine on cpu.

I’ve met multiple people from the bitcoin mining and research community in my 10 years and I don’t remember a single person doing gpu mining since 2013.

edit: also, you can’t even find an up to date gpu bitcoin mining software novadays. I dare you to provide a link here if I’m mistaken

Can you honestly say that you have personally met every single person on this planet who is doing Bitcoin mining "for fun" or doing research, and that you have continued to meet all the new ones as they pop up?

Didn't think so.

Just because you haven't heard of it doesn't mean that it doesn't exist.
