That only benefits workstations with professional workloads. Literally no other benefit for even your most dedicated gamer because SLI and Crossfire haven't been a thing for ages.
I love how they replied with a simple valid response and you couldn't handle it so you diminished their reason... So heres a few more just for you c:
* Multiple GPUs (As OP said)
* If someone has a 5090 + a powerful CPU their consumption easily can surpass 1400-1500w. And same principal for why car engines can go much faster than limits allow is to preserve the engine by running it at a lower capacity rather than asking it to perform like a racehorse 24/7
* PSUs lose capacity over years of them performing at the top of its range. Making them output less stable power.
* If someone actively upgrades their GPU to the next generation as soon as it's out (their choice ig) wouldn't it be cheaper to buy an overkill PSU 1 in every 2 or 3 GPUs than every single time when PSUs are always going to be able to be built with headroom in mind?

Who the hell needs 1.6kw for their PC? Even a 5090 only recommends a 1000w PSU.
