Also ASUS and Nvidia announce 100 new RTX cards.

So its pretty logical if you ask me. Strix is a high-end custom solution, but AMD has no high-end GPUs really. Demand is very low for AMD GPUs in general.
Asus never really made good AMD GPUs, they just re-used their Nvidia cooler and called it a day. Spending too much R&D funds on it, was pointless.
If you want an AMD GPU, usually buy Sapphire, XFX or Powercolor instead. They probably have 50-75% of all AMD GPU sales... (Consumer / Gaming segment) and don't make or sell Nvidia cards, meaning full focus is on AMD here. The exact opposite of Asus, Gigabyte, MSI, Gainward etc. They have 95% or full focus on Nvidia, for good reason. They make much more money here.
Back then, AMD was more competitive than today. Nvidia sits at like 85-90% dGPU marketshare.
Matrix series has been Nvidia only for years. 4090 Matrix is the fastest consumer GPU you can buy. Yet terrible value.
