So bitcoin miners aren't the reason for the insane GPU prices then?

They were one of the reasons it began inflating, but as their interest cooled off, the prices didn't follow that back down. Nvidia's current model is probably based on that increased cost, so they've committed to a strategy that makes it hard to slip price reductions through channels (or are just unwilling to follow the market back down).

Is it better for them to take back returned inventory, or cut their profit on the ones out there?

Seriously? I find this hard to believe - prices of GPUs have been ridiculously high (much higher than at launch) for so long precisely because the supply was so short.

Pretty much every supplier I've seen would either sell out any high-end Nvidia GPUs almost as soon as they got them or would ramp up the price more and more.

This is either an incorrect rumour or some very weird shitty strategy by Nvidia that backfired hard (I lean towards the former).

Even now OEMs should have very little problems selling cards at (above) MSRP so there must be something more going on.
