Was the 5090 ever a consumer GPU?

I mean yeah technically they are since nvidia released them as their consumer lineup and not like their server grade cards like the 6000 Pro. But ever since the 5090 dropped, average consumers were competing with Ai companies and data centers who want a 32gb card for creation purposes. Prices for the card skyrocketed right out of the gate, and they're now going for 2x the launch MSRP; taking into consideration the memory issue isn't easing up until earliest 2028, the cards will probably hit $5k before the year is over. It feels like the 5080 and lower tier cards are the only GPUs in the 50 series that are actually for the gamers. I only built my pc last september, but this GPU generation is literally the worst nvidia has released.
