Two reasons people are gobbling these really expensive cards:
* Inventory constraints of the 3xxx series pushed people to buy any available card and it just so happens the 3090 was there waiting for them as the only available card (or within parts bundles).
* Streamers normalize overpriced setups. It used to be cool to be thrifty with pc builds, now its just all about "performance" as games become less and less optimized on launch.
