No one is should buying a 5090 as a gamer.

FTFY. But the sad truth is that people will spend all sorts of money if they have it and just want the "best". Just ask my friend who had a 4090, then bought a 5090 only 8 months later for more than double what he paid for his 4090. No hate at all, but the value proposition of these cards make no sense if all you do is play video games.

That’s the definition of somebody just trying to impress people with buying the latest and greatest has nothing to do with using a computer “look at me everyone I have 5090 now after selling my 4090 am I cool now?”

Here's the funny bit about that; His 4090 is sitting in his closet, he won't even sell it.

Why would he not want to sell his 4090 and make back the money that he spent on it?
