NVIDIA is well hated by the industry. They tend to screw their partners. They're also very aggressive with litigation.

I am not surprised Apple hates their guts, too.

Yes, but we are talking about the interests of users here. The idea that apple would prevent Nvidia GPUs from being used with their machines is further to the point of Apple putting its grudges ahead of the interests of their customers.

I honestly don't see how using NVIDIA would be in the interest of users.

e.g. AMD's GPUs have full documentation, and high quality open source drivers. Same deal with Intel.

NVIDIA, you have to deal with their blob, and tough luck if it doesn't work, especially if NVIDIA has decided not to support your hardware anymore. They do that fairly quickly. In that sense, their GPUs are comparable with PowerVR, and your average shitty android SoC.

Did the Arm sale go thru yet? Makes you wonder if Apple made a bid or otherwise tried to discourage it.

Apple's large enough to have other options.

They've been hiring risc-v specialists recently. I wonder why.
