So I was under the impression that Jensen had arranged early deals with every chip maker to lock in a good price for basically the next 10 years, but it meant that nVidia were obliged to purchase them.. So they the needed the scarcity and demand to be constantly growing or else they would still be on the hook for the chips coming over the next ~6/7 years regardless? I'll try find the article.

So this is just clearly their best strategy, right? And nothing about this is illegal btw

Well it's illegal when you're circumventing export controls in order to keep those numbers up yes. If that turns out to be what's happened of course.
