Right, it IS nvidia's fault at this point, but its still like what? 90% of the consumer GPU market.

They're also selling $3000 nVidia AI workstations that exclusively uses Linux. But what if you want to watch an HDR video on it? No. What if you want to use Google Meet on Chrome/Wayland? It's broken.

Funny how it went from "just get an Nvidia card for Linux" and "oh my god, what did I do to deserve fglrx?" to "just get an AMD card" and "it's Nvidia, what did you expect?"

For aftermarket purchase sure, but 95% of consumer machines are using either Intel or AMD integrated graphics.
