Like AMD did with FreeSync (now VRR) and FSR3 (whatever open standard it will morph into)?

I'll never understand the hate AMD gets from the open source community. Mind-boggling.

Isn’t Intel’s solution oneAPI, which is supposed to be open and have a sort of translation layer for CUDA?

A large part of that hate is that, for a very long time, they had the worst of both worlds: a fragile proprietary driver and subpar performance.

Only recently have they fixed both. Indeed I only found out about their newfound openness a few years ago. Not everyone has gotten the memo.
