Makes more sense for sure, it's been a year since the GTX 1080 Ti was unveiled after all.
Who knows, maybe time and Nvidia don't wait for the competition to show up.
They don't, Nvidia has seen what can happen to companies who slow down progress. The public opinion shifts rapidly and you may end up digging a hole you can never work your way out of (queue ATI/AMD, or any of the old GPU brands now gone)
Besides, the demand for a powerful 4K card is growing, so it'd be crazy not to cater to that because it represents the highest margin segment of the whole stack. And to do that, you need to move the whole stack forward. Another argument: Nvidia has a proven successful release and business model right now, why change it?
