Probably because pricing in the mid-range is at least somewhat okay-ish again.

This, and people being desperate for new GPUs at some point because system requirements for newer games have skyrocketed. People probably finally upgrade from their trusty old GTX 1060 because many new games barely even work on low settings anymore.

I've got a 1660 super that I paid WAY too much for like 3 years ago which is still definitely adequate but I do get the itch to upgrade........

This is why I never buy mid-range. The 1080Ti I bought 6 years ago is really only now showing its age. Buy top or near top-end, that itch holds off quite a bit longer.
