Games were never optimized around users having 5090s.

It is funny how right you are on both ends, as plenty of games arent built for this level of power, but then also games with major issues cant really be solved by throwing a 5090 at it. Things like UE5 stutter and badly implemented frame pacing arent fixed with raw power.

So its gotta be fun to spend that much on a card and see most of the same issues as everyone else.

I think it's more "as long as DLSS is around."

I meant tongue in cheek that they're stopping high end cards so.. the current levels is where we will stay

They'll be optimized for the next generation of consoles. Whenever that comes out.

Sure, but at the price the 5090 was it was not even factored in their decision for limits.
