When did it just become expected that everybody would upgrade GPU’s every year and that’s suppose to be normal?

Somewhere around 1996 when the 3dfx Voodoo came out. Once a year was a relatively conservative upgrade schedule in the late 90s.

That’s still not cheap when you account for inflation. Of course there’s a world of difference between “not cheap” and what they charge these days.
