A card that goes toe to toe with what Nvidia released two years ago, only burning through more power? I think you meant "why wouldn't you want to buy Vega"?
On a more serious note, it does FreeSync and if you already have a FreeSync-capable monitor, maybe that's the card for you?

We kind of have an idea where these cards will end up in terms of basic features, but I'm more curious to see if these new cards will bring any new hardware features to accelerate ray tracing.

Because I don't have one.

-higher cost
-higher tdp
-higher power usage
-poor price-performance
-poor performance/watt
-consistently lower frame rate on a majority of titles

Not buying any of them any time soon at current prices. Yes, looking at Newegg, Nvidia is cheaper but still also currently overpriced. It doesn't mean I have the attitude of going to the grocery store to buy a loaf of bread at $19 vs another brand at $20 when I know they should be around $3.
