If Nvidia doesn't gives a shit about the 50 series sales... why are they forced to price cuts then? Who forces them? You also wrote that "no one is buying the 50 series GPUs", which is also wrong:
Their gaming revenue of the last 6 months was much higher than in the years before that:
In the Steam survey, the 50 series also grows much faster than the 40 series, the 30 series and the 20 series. Last but not least: PC gaming didn't "crater after the crypto and COVID lockdown booms":

Historically high-end GPU's like the 5070/5080/5090 class GPU's sold lower volumes than the 5030/5050/5060 class GPU's... That is no longer the case, which likely highlights a substantial volume of GPU's going towards Crypto, A.I and Professional users these days... But overall the volume of GPU's being sold to gamers have largely remained static.
And that is where the higher revenue is coming from, higher average selling prices of more lucrative parts to other users that aren't gaming.
So yes, higher revenues, but same amount of GPU's being sold into the channel.
It also doesn't help that for the "volume users" of PC gaming. I.E. 5030/5050/5060 class users... There really hasn't been a significant need to upgrade in several generations, the Geforce 3060 12GB in some instances when compared against the 5060Ti 8GB in memory demanding scenarios can provide a better experience. (I.E. No degraded texturing etc')
We also can't ignore the fact that nVidia has often sold more GPU's at the expense of AMD and Intel as well.
