In part, because money is going to these other ventures instead. Where would money go if there weren't an NVDA is the 6T question. What would this world look like with more balanced investment across the SP500 sectors instead of money dumped into this one industry in particular? I don't think it would be more chip companies on a 1:1 basis of NVDA investment. The fact that it is going to a single ticker in this case makes it more likely to suck the other options out of existence. If it were say 100 chip companies, more likely on an individual level than an investor might instead say, maybe this time I would invest in some other industry. Mutual funds that investors buy into to hedge into many sectors are also heavier than ever in tech companies like NVDA sort of perverting the whole concept of these funds in the first place. Sort of unprecedented times between how overlevereged things are, and the constant uninformed pumping of air into these stocks thanks to these packages such as these mutual funds that people automatically contribute their paycheck into, again believing they are probably getting much more broad exposure vs how leveraged these packages are currently.
