Opinions can change. We should all know by now that appeasement only works as long as the other party is acting in good faith and harsher solutions exist for a reason.

I agree.

It's also worth noting that, in 2016 when Linus shared this view, NVIDIA's market cap was 60B. It's now 1200B: https://www.macrotrends.net/stocks/charts/NVDA/nvidia/market...

At some point, when you have a trillion dollar entity acting in bad faith for that long, maybe your only option left (besides giving them the finger) is to pursue them in courts.
