I still have friends that adamantly believe Gamestop stock is going to make them obscenely rich despite losing significant amounts of money on it. Yet at the same time they say things like NFTs are a scam and all crypto is a ponzi scheme. It is very weird to me that they can lack the self awareness of being in a cult while calling other things cults.
If a year of nothing is not enough to convince them that nothing is going to happen I don't know what will. Hopefully in 5 years from now they will realize it was nothing but a retail fueled crazed pump and dump and the vast majority of players lost money.

It isn't weird at all. It's probably one of the hallmark symptoms of being in a cult. Everyone in your outgroup are the ones who are misguided, being misled by lies, etc.
