You are right that high end GPU's are fairly niche in gaming, latest Steam Hardware survey has only around 10% using high end cards from the last 2 Nvidia GPU gens (so 3070-4090) while AMD's high end parts from the last 2 GPU gens are under 1% combined on there.

That 10% number is actually a lot higher than it normally would be. A lot of people circa 2018-2021 bought a higher end GPU than they normally would have because of COVID lockdown + crypto bros. boom (people thinking they could make money during that). 

That 10% number is actually wrong.

Latest Steam Hardware survey has 18.03% for GA104 + AD104 GPUs and better.

Even if we don't count the 3060 Ti (only a few % slower than the 3070, same RAM, same chip), it's still 15%

It's also no secret that RDNA2 + RDNA3 aren't tracked correctly in the Steam survey. Together with the RTX 2080 Ti and 4060 Ti (which are both a bit faster than a RTX 3070) the share of powerful GPUs is well over 20%.
