as I said in my original comment, it's not only VRAM that matters.
I honestly doubt that even gamer laptops can run these models with a usable speed, but even if we add up the people who have such a laptop, and those who have a PC powerful enough to run these models, they are tiny fractions of those that use the internet on the world. it is basically not available to those that want to use it. ot is available to some of them, but not nearly all who may want it
