I have to agree, I feel like the idea that maybe some extra support is necessary really started to hit mainstream around the 20X line of cards. I have a 4090 in my machine, I straight up refused to install it and sat on it for a few days until I had a support bracket in place. I think we could argue that at this point the cards should likely come with one in the box, but I think like you said a little bit of care when you are building your system. I don't think this is a flaw with the card and really just a flaw with how we build computers and this connector. At best we could say the card shouldn't exist if it has to be this large but I don't think that is the solution.
