I'm sure they won't be any cheaper. Nvidia can be as greedy as they want given the low competition they have.
And with the 4000 Series it worked so damn well. 4090s sold like sliced bread
It’s just frustrating that mining has made it effectively impossible to buy a higher end video card at anything even approaching a reasonable price.
nVidia simply noticed that enough people were willing to pay the absolutely ridiculously inflated prices scalpers were demanding and realized they could skip the middleman and reap the profits themselves. Crypto and COVID might have been how they found that out, but the lack of competition is the reason they are getting away with it.
At least the performance gap somewhat justified the price. The other cards, mainly 4060 got little to no performance upgrade, yet cost more.
