The formula they have for performance to cost is a win, but I still can't help but be disappointed in them. The product I (we) need doesn't exist even though they have the position to produce it: a Linux compatible, 4K @ Ultra w/RT 120fps capable card. 5090 doesn't have the compatibility and the 7900 xtx (and now 9070 xt) doesn't have the performance (or style, if I may add. Seriously why are they allowing third parties to make them so ugly?).
I currently have a 3080ti FE for perspective.
If they were on the position to produce it, they would have. I highly doubt they chose to not make high end cards "just because", especially because that's where the profit margins would be the highest
I think that you're simply expecting a bit too much, and a little too far ahead in terms of your requirements. 4K RT 120fps is something that's just barely starting to get achievable at the absolute highest end, and even then not without compromises
