No one's arguing that these cards arent horribly priced but you'd be a fool to buy an inferior product at the same cost just for the sake of principle. If the 3080 and 3090s were available for $700 or less then they would make sense but they're not so the 4070ti is objectively the better buy here. It's a shitty situation but it is what it is. 

The only other option is going for the 7900xt which forces you to make the same compromises but at least your money doesn't go to nvidia I guess

Or you can simply wait and not buy any of those and see if prices will be adjusted. If not, then oh well.
