The GPU market is beyond saturated, with prices crashing. There are predictions of new 3090's being $500 in 6 months as NVIDIA and their partners get desperate to offload 3000 series inventory to make room for 4000 series cards.
Everyone and their cousin has a gaming PC now and even if a service like this were to take off, they'd have no shortage of suppliers (and competitors) and thus prices will plunge.
I can't see this being a sustainable business model past 6-9 months from now.
