Nvidia Gets SALTY

And you got the wrong keyword. The keyword is also, as like I said it's for someone who plays games, but who uses his GPU also for other things, like work for instance. It is what the Titan series was on NVidia's side of things... until the RTX Titan that is, which got turned into a pure gaming GPU without any productivity extras while keeping the huge pricetag.

They still marketed it to Gamers. - AMD has a different brand for non-gamers... You might have heard of them under the banner of "Fire Pro".

AMD could have also done what they initially did with Vega... And called it the "Frontiers Edition" - Which WAS marketed towards gamers+professionals.

Drawing comparisons to Titan is a bit silly, they both have vastly different price points and targeted audiences... I mean. The Titan is actually a good card for professionals, gamers and prosumers.

Different price point, certainly, targeted audiences, not so sure. Sure, they just showed only gaming benchmarks, but I wouldn't have done any different - don't want to steal the thunder of the just newly released Radeon Instinct MI50 and MI60 which are much more expensive.

Titan was good for professionals and prosumers, very good even. RTX Titan both cut that down and locked it behind the driver, making it in practice a pure gaming card. You want to work with that? Buy a Quadro RTX 6000 or 8000; same chip but with drivers unlocked to actually be able to work with it. And if you need FP64, still better to get the predecessors as this gen it got radically cut down even in the Quadro line.

Btw, FirePro are pure server cards by now (since 2017 and Polaris), you might have meant their workstation successors, the Radeon Pro series.
