There are a few examples / anectodes: The first is MS' trouble with the original Xbox (https://www.gamesindustry.biz/ati-to-provide-chips-for-future-xbox-products https://www.gamesindustry.biz/ati-to-provide-chips-for-futur... - not a great example (20+ year old articles are hard to find) but mentions the issues MS had with Nvidia) Then there's Apple's drama, which involved warranty claims for laptop parts that led to them being AMD only until the Arm move (https://blog.greggant.com/posts/2021/10/13/apple-vs-nvidia-what-happened.html https://blog.greggant.com/posts/2021/10/13/apple-vs-nvidia-w...) Sony only went with Nvidia for the PS3, but that may be more about AMD's APU offerings than Nvidia's shortcomings. Whether these are signs of a trend or just public anecdotes is in the eye of the beholder or kept away in boardrooms.

It’s second-hand info so take it with a grain of salt, but I read somewhere that there was a lot of friction between Apple and Nvidia because Apple likes to tweak and tailor drivers per model of Mac and generally not be wholly dependent on third parties for driver changes, but that requires driver source access which Nvidia didn’t like (even though they agreed to it for quite some time — drivers for a range of Nvidia cards shipped with OS X for many years and those were all Apple-tweaked).
