Why are there so many PCI express cards? I thought AGP was the standard.

The standard was changed so video card manufacturers and others could
make more money.

You're confusing PCI and PCI Express. They aren't similar, regardless of the
name.
Here's some Intel semi-propaganda on the subject:

I use PCIe for my video.

PCI is NOT the same as PCI-Express. The current standard for video card
slots on newer motherboards is PCI-E (PCI-Express) which uses a 16x PCI-E
slot for the PCI-E based video card. On such motherboards, there is no AGP
slot, because it is an outdated slower standard for video cards. (You can
still find a few older motherboards that still offer AGP slots, but do not
offer PCI-E slots.)

AGP is considered an older standard now. PCI-E is the newer standard,
has faster data transfer rate and so many recent mobo's include PCI-E
slots rather than AGP. I have never seen a board with a PCI-E slot and
an AGP slot on the same board, but there are still some PCI slots on
boards today that have PCI-E for the video slot. Get the difference?

Oh there are a few that I've seen. I know asrock/asus and ECS make them. I
believe others do as well. Here is just one example:
