Steve from GN did a video on this fiasco and it's glaringly obvious that Nvidia knew full well there were missing ROPs. They pushed them out all the same. The amount of hate Nvidia are getting at the moment. The entire Internet is either laughing at them or shaking their fists. AMD has an enormous chance.

Thing is it won't change anything due to people being so weak. They've done stuff like this time and time again and it hasn't affected them in the slightest.

I dunno, maybe. But maybe the RX 480 was, in part, so successful because it had 8GB of an actual VRAM just after the 3.5GB of the 970. There's only so many times Nvidia can do this before people push back. From what I've heard though, once people complain as much as they are right now, Jensen wants to get his duckies in a row and becomes more aggressive again. That was seemingly the case after Turing. That architecture was a flop. They backpedalled with the 3000 series.

The problem is at this stage he is just playing to his shareholders. So any dirty money saving/making tricks he can use he will use. The prices will never go down again on Nvidia. They have made that completely clear. They just keep shuffling lower end products up the stack and adding prices onto them. So we are literally paying mining+pandemic prices still and extra per year for inflation etc.
Turing was not a flop. Maybe technically but they still made bank. The 30 series was a technical flop, but ironically the best flop since the 10 series (not saying that was a flop, far from it, the 10 series was their best ever). But yeah, the 30 series did not meet his expectations and to him was a flop hence why he returned to TSMC. The irony is the gains were the best since the 10 series.
Nvidia as a competitive company are finished. It's over, done. They have no competition other than themselves, and no longer have to offer anything even close to being a value product.
The competition now is between AMD and Intel. And when Intel get their fabs open? yeah I can't see that going well for AMD. AMD will still have a middleman, Intel will not. And with things slowing to a crawl in gains wise? I think Intel can offer compelling products.
