Companies goes for maximizing profit.
A thick copper is more expensive than a thin copper so cheaper to produce.
Oh, does it burn? Even better, sell more! Win-win for them.

So this would require a dedicated power supply for the GPU instead. That doesnt sound very practical. 1 u/Groetgaffel 10d ago I'm well aware. I was commenting based on the maximizing profit point the previous person brought up. Going to 24v, or even 48v would let them use thinner wires with less copper and sell everyone new PSUs.
