My theory is this is one of the ways nvidia is trying to force ML users to buy the $$$$$ workstation cards.

Can't put four 4090s into your PC if every 4090 is 3.5 slots!

You can do single slot 4090 cards using water cooling, so having enormous coolers is not forcing anyone to buy workstation cards to fit things. Alternatively, there are always cases designed for riser cables.
