I got a gigabyte rtx3060 ti two days ago locally and guess what? It's non LHR mining at full 61MH per second on hiveOS as we speak so I'm confused when you said all non LHR cards are going to some bigger farm leaving small farm owners
it's probably better to say that your chance to get non-lhr on retail is small. it's not impossible but you'll need to get lucky. another reason might be because the store doesn't have a new stock, so you get the previous non-lhr cards. that's not even counting where do you live etc.
