Yea the lower down the stack you go, the less impressive the gains have been since Turing era. Quite the shame really considering how 60 series once used to defeat the previous gen 80 series.

Idk why people keep suggesting Nvidia will leave the gaming market where they hold over 80% of the market share. Like has there ever been a case of a business saying "Welp we hold 80%+ market share of a highly profitable industry, lets just leave for the luls?" Like Nvidia made 1.8 Billion dollars in gaming vs 3.6 Billion dollars in Datacenter Q4 FY23. That's no small chunk in revenue to just say, yea lets leave something that they have a guaranteed win in every generation.

Plus if Nvidia leaves and Radeon becomes the dominant player, you think the industry will be any better? If anything, the GPU market will be significantly worse when you realize that when AMD had market dominance against Intels CPU with Zen 3, they refused to launch proper budget CPUs for nearly 1.5 years after the initial release Zen 3. It took Intel to launch Alder Lake before AMD bothered to release a proper CPU in the budget segment as they were riding the success of Zen 3 to their fullest extent.

I don't see NVidia leaving the gaming market either. What could happen somewhere down the line is that they put less focus on gaming and more focus on Tegra/Quadro, giving both AMD and Intel a chance to catch up on them both in market share and capabilities (as in, things like DLSS or CUDA). If that were to happen, then the market would be much more open without any dominant player and the prices probably also much more competitive. But that's really a best-case scenario for consumers, and I doubt this will happen anytime soon.
