Exact reasons are not yet known,
but according to Videocardz, one of the two sources said that the RTX 3080 20 GB was blown off due to low GDDR6X yields.
If that is true, then this does not apply to the RTX 3070 16 GB, because GDDR6 is used here for the video memory.

They are cancelled because AMD are about to release much more competitive cards than Nvidia had anticipated. They will have to increase the performance of each card now instead of just the memory.

The increased VRAM cards always seemed to be terrible values.
No performance increase
VRAM that most consumers won't use
Higher cost that might compete with higher end cards.
