Also professionals that need powerful computers ("workstations") in their jobs, like video editing

A lot of them are incorporating AI in their workflow, so making local AI better would be a plus. Unfortunately I don't see this happening unless GPUs come with more VRAM (and AI companies don't want that, and are willing to spend top dollar to hoard RAM)

Or at least they were. I don't know a huge number of gamers, but all of those I know are suddenly making do with what they have due to RAM prices.
