Why do motherboard makers continue to advertise SLI support when nvidia officially ended multi gpu support a few years ago?

I dont think theyve ended 2 way sli. But 3 or 4 gpu sli is out the door? Might be wrong
 
Plenty of people run SLI on the 2080 Ti cards. Game support is lagging in newer titles and some of the game engines don't support it.
 
With Pascal back in 2016 nVidia introduced the SLI HB Bridge which enabled dual graphics cards only for the GTX 1070, 1080 and 1080 Ti. They actually removed the ability to SLI the GTX 1060 and below probably in order not to cannabalize sales of the higher end GPU. With Maxwell you could still SLI the GTX 960 mid range cards.

nVidia has continued this with Turing and raised the bar as only the RTX 2080 / 2080 Ti have support for NVLInk SLI dual graphics cards. Not even the RTX 2070 has this support making it a very high end premium feature now. This is probably because dual GTX 1070 was a cheap alternative that surpassed a single GTX 1080.

Which, if you think about it, is killing market support for multi gpu in games because fewer and fewer rigs will have it running.
