This post assumes way too much and gives the businesses more credit than they deserve. All the AI companies are looking for is maximizing compute per unit of rack space. They are only operating under the goal of winning the AI race to become wildly profitable and powerful. There is no consideration for any bankruptcy proceedings if/when the AI boom comes crashing down as that isn’t their problem at that point.
The GPUs used for these LLMs are simply not in a form factor that could be used for consumer devices, they fit in racks that use far more power than a home computer would be able to provide.Making them that way would be utterly idiotic.

People years ago said the cards used for crypto mining took too much power and cooling for gamers, but later we got gaming cards that take pretty much the same power and cooling as some of them.
I hope you’re right and that doesn’t happen this time. It’s gone too far already.
