> NVIDIA was very secretive of their tech Oh the irony for Apple to dislike others being secretive...

  On their own right, they contribute more than many other companies, though. Their kernel is open source, they have given their secret sauces like Grand Central Dispatch away, allowed complex technologies like mDNS (Bonjour), AirPrint, multipath networking to be implemented freely and used widely in a vendor agnostic manner. macOS is 1000 times better for talking UNIX systems than Windows and is POSIX compliant. Lastly, they are not hindering the development of Asahi Linux, and did nothing when their devices were reverse engineered. On the contrary, they left a couple of ways open for Asahi guys to boot their distribution directly. They are not the band of saints, but they are not the underhanded evils like a couple of others.
