By "nobody" you must be referring to the consumers, because the manufacturers don't care how much it costs, as long as it translates in profit (the HD 5970s go up to $1.2k, so m'eh).
And every generation of graphic cards improve on one aspect or another, but mainly to increase the total performance, compared to a previous gen. So to answer your questions, yes it is pretty awesome and NEEDZ MOAR!!
