They don't want to. Gaming is small potatoes business for them (PC GPUs are probably less than 10% of their income) and the RAM/tensor cores being given to gamers pales in comparison to what they can charge AI megacorps. They don't want to waste valuable components on gamers effectively. Their priority is the AI build out, it makes them far more money. AMD is going down the same path.
Beyond that I think there has been pointed out a probable nefarious side goal as well of not wanting people to own their hardware any longer. You will pay for their AI compute in the future like a cloud subscription without owning the actual hardware. While not the no.1 priority, I think Nvidia and other companies are just fine and dandy with that future.
