A twist on the above comment: I _already own_ an M2 Mac, but I'm never gonna buy a high-end GPU to play around with this sort of tech. If the things people (who aren't gamers, crypto miners, or ML researchers) already own can be useful for some hobby-level work in the space, we'll see a lot more work and experimentation in the space. Its super exciting stuff.

To be fair now many people have gaming PC. Perhaps more than who have their own M1 Pro/Max.

It’s different kinds of people. I know more people with an apple mx computer than with a gaming computer (people have a console to game or nothing at all).

Perhaps, you think? ^^

The gaming PC market is huge. Have a look at https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20210329005150/en/Glo... to get some numbers. There is a list of shipments in a year. Apple sells a lot of units, but not nearly enough to match the accumulated household supplies of gaming PCs - in how much, 2 years, while gaming PCs and laptops are still being sold?

Don't take that comment personally please, but this "perhaps" is a perfect example of being in a complete Apple bubble. It's so far from reality it is frankly unfathomable.
