but the 4080 and 4090 absolutely blow previous gens out of the water
Just the 4090, the 4080 is not is not that big a jump compared to the 3090Ti. Considering the 4080 trades blows with the 7900xtx, can't say that it blows previous gen out of the water
Even the non-TI RTX 3060 had a 192-bit bus and 12 GB of memory. The fact that a lower tier and older product sounds more appealing is a major error in Nvidia's judgment for this generation of budget cards.
I don't understand why they couldn't keep pushing the 3060 until they were truly ready for a 4060 that's better. You don't have to release new products on every single segment every single time. Especially if they confuse the buyers of that segment.

I think that's why: confusing those less "hardcore" into thinking 4060 is a massive leap from 3060.
It's pure corporate greed and annoying as hell.
I don't know, it's been another year of overpriced GPUs that didn't advance as much as some past generations have.

128-bit bus... that is pretty bad.

IMO the base 3060 is the best price/performance Nvidia card out right now and it's over $100 cheaper than the 4060 Ti.
