Are you comparing the 9070 XT's MSRP to the 5070 Ti's inflated market price? Because that's an unfair comparison.
There's not a single place where I can get a 9070 XT at MSRP at the moment. Every 9070 XT is at least €150 over MSRP here, narrowing the price gap between both cards substantially.
I don't know the price situation in Canada since I'm not Canadian of course, but at this point in time here in Belgium it doesn't make sense to choose a 9070 XT over a 5070 Ti unless you absolutely cannot stretch your budget by the additional €150.

I absolutely agree with you on that bit. I'm not happy about the current GPU market situation either.
A 5070 Ti should not be costing €950 by any stretch of one's imagination, and let's not even get started about the higher tiered cards...

Yes, true. I do hope SE or AMD fix the card's performance in FFXIV.
I was actually interested in the 9070 XT until I saw the FFXIV benchmars, since this is the game I play the most. So, since I haven't gotten a new GPU yet, I might still opt for one if performance gets fixed.
