Because it's more likely that someone with a 2 gens old GPU upgrades than someone that has a card from the previous gen? Or because someone that bought a high-end part like a 2080 is more likely to buy another high-end part like the 4080 and 4070Ti GPUs than someone that went for a mid-range model like the 3060Ti?

No, the reason is because a 80 class car will have a bigger cooler than a 60 class card. That means more recyclabe materials like copper and aluminium.

I doubt that the components are worth over 200 pounds. It would be stupid to tear apart and recycle fully functional graphic cards instead of reselling them.
