Why was it acceptable for NVIDIA to use same VRAM in flagship 40 Series as 3090?

Was curious why there wasn’t more outrage over this, seems like a bit of an “f u” to the consumer for them to not increase VRAM capacity in a new generation. Thank god they did for 50 series, just seems late…like they are sandbagging.
