Don't hurt the product because of those nasty little miners and hodlers.
Ironic, because they look to be the ones hurting things the most.
There's people stuck on igpus, ancient gpus, or cpus with no igpu, that want to get a new one, but can't.
There's people who already have a card(s) trying to get more. What's the limit for them?
It's not the supply - well, it's slowing them down, but they'll ultimately get their hands on more, be it the EVGA queue, direct from manufacturing, or scalpers.
It's not the money. Some, if not all of a card's cost and then some, can be made back.
It's not accessibility. Everyone with a discreet gpu can do it, whether they take the easy route with something like nicehashminer or the harder route by looking up guides on how to optimize for a particular coin.
It's space - resources; how many rigs and cards on said rigs, can one set up in their homes/basements/storehouses/warehouses/etc.
Out of all the mini storms in this perfect storm, the gpu mining is the worst one. There's literally no limit in sight to demand for new cards right now because of how profitable it is. "More, more, moar..!"
If nothing is done about it, then we can expect this to be the norm for some time.
