The problem is the bulk of it is going to Nvidia.

Don’t forget all the fuel burned for electricity to power it!

Well probably not just Nvidia but the next likely beneficiaries are in the same range (Microsoft etc.)

The money goes to Microsoft/Google/Amazon/etc, which they goes to Nvidia.

Sort of, they buy the hardware and sell services, and then buy upgraded hardware. Nvidia is a pretty big part of the sales cycle.
