Let's say I wanted to buy a 70 ti class card:

MSRP (USA):

1070 Ti: $399

2070 Super: $499

3070 Ti: $600

4070 Ti: $800

Do you not see the issue here.

One is corporate greed, the other is people getting high on FOMO and wanting the totl everything 

You combine all that and we end up were we are
