Worse, I think companies that warehouse gpu's will buy newer more efficient gpu's by the time they get their data centers running but won't resell the older but unused gpu's afraid to let their competitors to make inference.

Isn't that straightforwardly explained by typical hoarding behavior, not " afraid to let their competitors to make inference"? During the pandemic people were hoarding TP that they couldn't possibly use within a reasonable amount of time, but it'd be crazy to accuse people of doing that because they were afraid of their neighbors having clean asses.
