Their plan may be to stick to selling a comparatively low number of high end GPUs and just stop making a lot of low- and mid-range. The profit margins are much higher that way and they know they’ll still sell out.

The problem with that is it runs the risk of destroying the market long term.  Price a large portion of your customers out of the market and sooner or later they will move on.

Sadly, I actually don't think you are wrong. Make GPU's with big margins, for those who can't afford or are unwilling, the value option will be streaming. 

$20 - $30 a month for a Geforce Now sub will sound pretty good if the cheapest GPU one can buy is $1000+.
