If people were going to learn not to use proprietary software/hardware like the stuff that the wankers at Nvidia churn out, they'd have learned it over a decade ago when Torvalds gave them a big "fuck you" - which had been a long time coming even back then.
People who keep picking Nvidia don't want to learn not to use proprietary tools.

Maybe a decade ago it was because they didn't care about abstract ideals like software freedom, but now they are well and truly stuck, and can serve only as a cautionary tale to other industries.

But it is not very similar to slavery, nobody is getting beaten or chained up, the “victims” are willing participants. Maybe some comparison to company stores could be warranted…
