This sounds like a cop out.  They're the ones in a position to dictate
terms to their coders and chip suppliers.

Who else but to nVidia can a chipset manufacturer sell custom nVidia
chips?  And they'll be selling generic chips to any manufacturer, so
what's to hide in that regards.

Write code for nVidia, and you obey their directives.  Be difficult, go
and write for someone else.
