Also, for PC gamers, there's not much reason to shell out for this compared to something like the Intel 670p which has been $80 for 2 TB for close to a month. You're not going to see more than a 5% difference in load times going with a higher end drive. Maybe DirectStorage will change that, but initial DirectStorage games don't seem to really take much advantage of SSD speed.

However, I'd still go with a Gen4 for one's primary boot/OS drive, if one has a MB and CPU that can run at Gen4, and get a slower and bigger drive for secondary storage, e.g. for games. At these prices you might as well spend a bit more for better overall performance and future-proofing.

I had the same attitude as you and bought a 980 Pro last summer. If I was better educated, I would have bought a cheaper drive for my use case (gaming). It's not as though games in 3-4 years are going to saturate a PCIe Gen4x4 link. A Gen4x4 link is 8 GB/s. Even after accounting for the protocol overheads, you're still getting way faster transfers than a game is ever going to use. In fact, Microsoft, when designing the XBox Series S/X opted for a Gen4x2 link, even though quick load times are a major selling point of that platform.
