nVidia's strategy is not to back fill the midrange but to continuously release new hardware so that bargain hunters have to fall back on previous-gen cards for decent bang for the buck. An RTX 3080 is currently a pretty good deal if you can find one and probably cheaper than current 4070, for example.
AMD has pretty decent offerings in the mid range, but if you're using it for AI or content creation tasks, you'll find out pretty quickly that CUDA is the big name in town, and gamers already think AMD's name is mud. They're pretty nice if you're a desktop Linux person, though.
DaVinci Resolve Studio, the application that tends to be at the forefront of my PC buying decisions, actually runs better on AMD GPUs than on nVidia, but unfortunately, those cards are more or less unsupported by most of the other content creation software I use.
