Why can't Nv/Amd let you purchase direct through Geforce Experience, Amd's(equivalent)?

Nv/Amd could collect telemetry so theoretically they can clearly identify actual gamers and pass customer directly through to their own/partners shop portals that have stock.

Gamers actually get a gpu, telemetry again catches whether you are gaming on said card, rinse repeat.

Why exactly is PC gaming, using many peripherals, monitor(s), gaming gear etc considered a genuine, positive reason for owning a computer card and using the required electricity (normally during the day when more CO2 emitting sources are required) whereas any other use is considered bad, negative, a waste of resources etc?

Why shouldn't someone who buys a card be able to use it for whatever they want? Its like selling someone an SUV and then tracking how many people are carried each journey and then checking to make sure they go off-roading at least once a week. Or selling someone a sports car and then complaining they don't go on track days often enough.

I'm all for individuals / groups who buy cards (even on mass) and decide to only sell them to a specific group, but why do you believe the designers / manufacturers should limit / restrict who can buy their cards / products?
What makes gamer's believe they should get priority treatment?

Well basically it is NVidia that has positioned their cards for Gaming, hence the inclusion of RT cores and tensor cores, which to my knowledge have no real use for mining operations.

Your car analogies are so completely off the mark it is quite silly. sports cars and track days, would be like you can only use your card for overclocking benchmarking tournaments.

NVidia and AMD for that matter have been limiting their cards for a long time now, hence the professional range of cards both red and green teams make.
