It would honestly probably be cheaper to do a x8 PCIe 5.0 controller to reach those speeds...

That's absolutely true! Honestly, I'd love to see AMD and Intel just increase PCI-E lanes but keep to a maximum of 20 PCI-E 5.0 lanes on ALL their consumer platforms (I mean 20 PCI-E 5.0 and then another 20 4.0 for example), probably up untill like 2030 or thereabouts.

PCIE-5.0 is already too overkill for any consumer usage scenario! Consideringg how much it increases motherboard costs it just doeasn't make sense to be stubborn and implement it. And no, just buiying lower-end motherboards is not a good solution as manufacturers will always also cheap out on VRMs, amount of ports, integrated I/O shields, etc, etc, I mean, most AMD B650 motherboards are ty, not o mention the A620s, so no, that's really not an option.

There really should be decent motherboards with good VRMS, good amounts of USBs, SATAs, M.2s, good heatsinks, debug LEDs or LCDs, integrated I/O Shield, etc. But that aren't so darn expensive, by simply limiting themselves to PCI-E 4.0 only! Not any GPU can saturate a x16 4.0 slot yet, in fact a 3.0 x16 slot is enough for a 4090... No one needs more than PCI-E 3.0 x4 SSD speeds either. Having 4.0 is already "future proofing" and would make for reasonable motherboard pricing. The market is speaking with their wallets people aren't upgrading to DDR5/PCI-E 5 platforms and instead sticking with AM4 and older gen Intel, that's all because of price.
