This argument makes no sense. Consumer GPU pricing (which I'm assuming is what you're referring to) has very little to do with the pro market (industry, research etc.)
The researchers are using things like the DGX or RTX A-series. These, while quite expensive, are not that unreasonable when it comes to pricing.
