You could say that: https://drewdevault.com/2017/10/26/Fuck-you-nvidia.html

This is increasingly becoming not true. See cutlass and the new release of cufftdx.

These are both things that are unlikely to ever be able to run on anything other than nvidia hardware. It's hardly a mark in their favour over abusive lock-in practices.

Well, of course. They're written in cuda. Why would Nvidia try to write it in a language like opencl that even AMD is moving away from, and instead making fft/blas library calls? At least the source code is there if you wanted to port it.

I think it's very clear that I wasn't commenting on what framework they choose to write their projects in, and you're rather deliberately missing my point.

I think it's very clear that the framework was important here. Because you were pointing out that they don't open source much, I pointed out that they do, then you nitpicked by saying it's cuda.

I had no idea, so I just searched and found there are 201 repositories in their github:

https://github.com/NVIDIA

that's a pretty meaningless number without further context

The person I replied to said nvidia doesn't contribute much to open source. I pointed at their github repositories. If you care about the context, it is there, and there is no risk of me summarizing it unfairly.

Having some of your code in github isn't contributing to open source.
