AFAIK the tg3 driver exists because Dell fought Broadcom for it, although that was years ago. Probably even Dell isn't big enough to budge NVidia.

But AMD maybe? I think they're big enough that if they started doing it, NVidia might consider doing at least a branch of products that had open drivers.

AMD already has open drivers. I suppose Dell could apply more pressure by shipping laptops with AMD GPUs instead of NVidia.
