Probably a case of "no one complained hard enough yet", also probably a case of "beggars can't be choosers"... when literally billions of VC money is poured into both AI startups and estabilished cloud computing companies, all of that flows directly into Nvidia's pockets and it's not like this area is free from vendor lock in. When you have a stack that requires Nvidia's hardware you are going to pay for Nvidia's hardware. We live in a time when any hardware with a "matrix calculation accelerator" label sells like hot cakes. It's a massive bubble (HN doesn't like when you use that word in combination with AI, but that's what it is), but as with any bubble, people don't care, they want to ride that wave while it's there. But to get back to the issue, anything Nvidia will sell right now, it's just a matter of who is going to be able to buy it first. So no one really complains about some of Nvidia's marketing being a little dishonest. Also, even if people cared, being a trillion dollar company on your way to being one of the most valued companies on the planet, you have a lot of options and money for litigation.
