Has internet discussion really fallen this low that all needs to be spelled out and no context can ever be implied?
We're in a thread about NVidia, so of course OP's talking about NVidia hardware here. Yeah, they can get AMD, but that does not change their (valid) criticisms of NVidia one bit.

Aaand?
Windows and macOS have different standard for drivers than many Linux users do. Is it really that surprising that users who went with an open-source operating system find open-source drivers desirable too?
I find it really weird to assume that because something is happening somewhere, it's some kind of an "objective fact of reality" that has to be true for everyone, everywhere.
When you shop for things, are you looking for certain features in a product? Would you perhaps suggest in a review that you'd be happier if a product had a certain feature or that you'd be more likely to recommend it?
It's the same thing. NVidia is not some lonely developer on GitHub hacking during their lunch break on free software.
Do you also assume that the kind of music you find interesting is objectively interesting for everyone?
This has nothing to do with entitlement. It's listing reasons for why someone thinks NVidia buying ARM is a bad idea.
