Why are the majority of peoppe so hostile to the 4060 Ti release? Is it only because of the price and people think it should only be $350?

I suspect the internet outrage is more about people either addicted to anger, or outrage for the sake of fitting in with other people's outrage. Similar to everybody's outrage of Ampere, 30 series unavailable, but now there's graphics cards and nothing is selling.

I'm interested to buy the 4070, but at 50% more money than the 4060 Ti but only 25 to 30% more performance than the 4060 Ti, the 4070 is not worth the money. Now I'm thinking to buy a regular 4060 and upgrade to 6000 or 60 series.

I only single play campaigns exclusively, zero multiplayer, and I don't buy games every year because not many games have a campaign I want to play over again. It's been maybe 40 years since I bought new, the free Epic games help.

It could also be that with nVidia making billions from AI computing, it doesn't hurt them if graphics cards don't sell because they own the market anyways, it doesn't matter. If Radeon sales increase but they still make billions from the enterprise, it still doesn't matter. And Intel doesn't exist in that space.

Given that nVidia is a trillion dollar company even with Ada Lovelace not selling, the company is not being affected. Why sell an $800 card when they can sell a $5000 card?

Gamers need to accept that if gaming GPU's don't sell yet the company has billions of dollars coming in, they have no reason to listen or care about gamers. I strongly condemn nVidia's corporatist attitude, but gamers have to either pay nVidia prices or buy from a different company while nVidia continues to get richer without gamers.
