There's plenty of other SSD's at this price point, that are faster. Samsung removed some chips to make it slower, so that there would be a bigger gap till the 980 pro, etc.
It's the same marketing gimmick that johnny walker did with the old gold (18yo) to blue... and then they changed it to new gold (12yo), added platinum (18yo) and then blue. You now pay $100-120 for something that used to cost you $70 per 750ml bottle, and yet the platinum is still not as good as the old gold. With the old gold, there wasn't a big reason to buy blue, at a difference of almost 3x the price.
That johnny walker marking gimmick is essentially what Samsung did. However, it could possibly have also been influenced by the chip shortage. They kept them in the pro, etc
Either way, here link to post about that question:
