Don't be daft. The vast majority of people don't have the knowledge or resources to set that up locally.
You're right if we're talking about the entire population of Earth. With these local models though, other people have already done all the hard stuff. Anyone with an RTX card and just a minimum level of patience can get going.
Minimum for local models is 12gb imo. There are several "rtx" cards that have 8gb. Also, why nvidia? AMD works well too. My previous point stands, still. If you don't already have the hw, buying a pc today is very expensive. I don't know if you go out much but it ain't pretty out there. People arrn't precisely swimming in cash.
Also, patience isn't the only requirement. Keep in mind that some people struggle to even install a program.
