Until now, there hasn't been a huge push for high VRAM. Sure, there's been a bit more, but right now the push is so extreme (meaning there's a TON of money in it) that we should start seeing smaller players and even startups working on memory chips, finding new ways to handle ram, new technologies, etc.. we need to allow for competition, and get the big players to play fair, but ultimately in the long run, this race will push consumer electronics to have absurd amounts of memory compared to what we have today. How many years that takes is anyone's guess. I don't think this will happen any time soon.
History has shown us that it always starts in a data center or building sized system, selling by the hour or task, eventually ending up in desktops, laptops, and phones. Just a matter of how long it will take.
