It's been a while now admittedly for me with Linux, but for me it was like, AMD was always trying to halfheartedly support open source, their proprietary drivers fast but buggy and hard to install. The open source driver slow and stable. Nvidia made no pretense, you downloaded a thin open source shim, typed "make" and then it worked and was fast. And 99.9% proprietary blob.
