AMD has a perfect opportunity to pair or outperform Nvidia - this launch is very important and they need to win market share with gamers. Nvidia clearly was pressed with this launch; using samsung, large tdp, paper launch (basically). RDNA2 will very likely be power efficient...AMD is going to have their hands full balancing miners and gamers
I SEE it much the same as you do.
Nvidia rtx 3000 series was a ghost launch
From what I've been reading the AMD launch going to be similar, apparently not much stock.
That being said though I sent back my 5700XT's I just bought, going to wait and see how the next waves perform.
