Because nVidia knows that a huge part of their gaming market wants to buy the highest specs to show off to their friends, not for game performance.

The "1%" who have unlimited budget for consumer purchases like this, are millions of people.

Also, you couldn't buy a 3080 at launch, it was never in stock. Now, the real 4080 16 GB is too close to the 4090 in price to be worth it. For the moment, it is the best to wait for AMD and hope it will be good.
