Nvidia has things like the A series for this sort of stuff, and at their level of use they’ll be buying at a distributor or direct from manufacturer level depending on size.
Some small places will want 4090s and things though, and then yeah maybe they’ll buy from stores and that but I doubt that’ll be enough to kick demand up and cause prices like the crypto boom.
There’s no advantage of the A series unless you plan to use the unique virtual GPU features. Nvidia added a toggle for the 4090 to make use of ECC, which apparently the memory can already do, to turn it into a professional card with less VRAM. It’s otherwise nearly identical to the A series cards, minus the NVLINK to connector two A series cards together.
Why wouldn’t they?

Official support, drivers, bulk orders direct from Nvidia, staying on Nvidia’s good side
