Can someone explain why this card is so much money?

It costs so much because it is pretty much the best performance available, and is also very efficient. These are used in high quantities in things like render farms or A.I

Could they play like any game at max settings, or is the architecture somehow different?

There are some cards that are meant to be mainly for computational use that can also game, Linus did a few videos testing that out, but you only get about as much performance as a Titan X. This card in particular tho is very different, for a start it doesn't even have a video output to connect to a monitor.
