The problem is that the crypto miners and AI servers run on purpose-built hardware now that can’t be repurposed for gaming.

Yeah, crypto switched to ASIC, but nonetheless there was no cheap hardware dump as they transitioned. And yeah, AI does use regular GPUs, but the consumer versions are used mainly for smaller farms.
